Re: [ssm] Dual homed multicast src and SSM

[Beau Williamson <bwilliam@cisco.com>]

Brian,

There is nothing specific to SSM that would prevent the trees from being 
setup between one AS and another.  The fact that the source domain is 
dual-homed only means that there are two paths form where Joins can arrive 
(from other domains).  This is of course controlled with normal BGP metrics 
and is no different from hosts in other AS's wishing to "send" unicast 
traffic to the source host.
