What is Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP)

Chapter 23
Encyclopedia of Internet Technologies and Applications
This protocol makes it possible to use independent multicast routing inside the domains, while the multicast sessions originated from or to other domains reach all the participants. In each AS (see above), there is at least an MSDP protocol entity in order to exchange the information about the active sources among them. Rendezvous Point (RP)

Abstract
Despite the efficiency of the IP-multicast it has not been deployed in the whole Internet. The main reason is that the wide-area multicasting among the different autonomous systems (AS) has not been solved perfectly. The global address allocation is especially a problematic part of Internet-wide multicasting. This article addresses such problems in order to review the existing methods and the emerging research results (Hosszú, 2005).
