That's quite logical : SSM is 5 years old (counting from the first 1999=20
Express SIGCOMM paper) compared with ASM which is almost 20 years old=20
(counting from the first SIGCOMM
host group model definition from Deering in 1985). But SSM could grow=20
faster, as it rely on the same routing routing architecture than ASM ;)

For information, at the time of writing, linux is the only operating=20
system supporting IPv4/IPv6 SSM
natively (first patch starting from 21 may 2003 are now included in the=20
main kernel).
