SSM translate policies

Overview

Source-Specific Multicast policies allow the receiver of multicast packets to specify desired source addresses to the router, so that only packets originating from the specified sources are delivered. IGMP is used by the client to inform the router of the specified addresses.

The SSM translate policy allows you to create global sets of SSM translate items that can be mass-delivered to many routers at once. Every policy has one or more SSM translate items. When the policy is distributed, all of these items are deployed to the target base routers.
