<p>A system and method of generating a channel address is disclosed. The method includes mapping a first address, obtained from a membership report, to a second address to generate a channel address. A multicast network device (MND) (114) for subscribing one or more hosts (124) on a multicast network (100) to one or more channels (104) is disclosed. The MND (114) includes a memory (116) containing a first address (206) and a SSM mapping engine (118) configured to map the first address (206) to a second address (208) to generate a channel address (210), identifying a channel (104) in response to the first address (206) contained in the memory.</p> |
