Which address range is used for source-specific multicast?
Which address range is used for source-specific multicast?
The address range used for source-specific multicast is 232.0.0.0/8. This range is specifically designated for SSM by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). SSM allows for more efficient routing of multicast streams from a specific source to multiple receivers.
PIM SSM introduces new terms for many of the concepts in PIM sparse mode. PIM SSM can technically be used in the entire 224/4 multicast address range, although PIM SSM operation is guaranteed only in the 232/8 range (232.0.0/24 is reserved). The new SSM terms are appropriate for Internet video applications and are summarized in Table 1. https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/multicast/topics/concept/multicast-pim-ssm.html
Correct answer is C. 232.0.0.0/8. Passed JN0-649 Looking forward to earning JNCIS-Cloud to specialize further in Juniper's cloud solutions.
