A network operator with an employee ID 4531 26:504 must implement a PIM-SSM multicast configuration...

 To implement a PIM-SSM (Protocol Independent Multicast - Source Specific Multicast) configuration for streaming live traffic across different domains, the network operator must ensure that IGMPv3 (Internet Group Management Protocol version 3) is enabled on R1. IGMPv3 is required for SSM because it allows the receiver to specify the source IP address of the desired traffic, which is a key feature of SSM. The operator would configure IGMPv3 on the interfaces that connect to the users who will be accessing the multicast stream. Additionally, PIM-SSM must be enabled on the router, and the multicast sources and groups must be properly defined.
