Initial Interdomain Network Topology

Chapter Description

Take a look at a detailed example of an ISP customer within an interdomain multicast network implemented SSM in its network using URD, and learn the three ways to implement SSM in an interdomain environment.

Summary

This chapter described how an ISP customer within an interdomain multicast network implemented SSM in its network using URD. The initial topology was introduced and SSM basics—including SSM IP address range and SSM operation—were discussed. URD Host Signaling was identified as being the best solution for implementing SSM. URD was described and implementation steps were presented.
