hello



I was wondering that SSM (before was the SImple Muticast or EXPRESS) use
a channel like (S, G) and the drafts are saying that this is the
solution to the address allocation problem because each group is
represented with the souce address also.  but why??
figure this : 2 groups (having the same address) want to recieve from
the same source. the (simple multicast or EXPRESS or SSM) will consider
them as the same group
So in this case any (S, G) = (S, G1) .... (S, Gn) and there is no sense
in the adress group of the recievers.
at the same time if G2 (the recievers in the G2 but having the G
multicast address group) for example want to recieve from S2 , in that
case all the G1.... Gn will recieve the data.

am I right ??
thanx
