While PIM employs a specially-configured rendezvous point (RP) router that serves as a 
meeting junction for multicast senders and listeners, Protocol-Independent Multicast 
Single-Source Multicast (PIM-SSM) does not use an RP. It supports only source route 
delivery trees. It is used between routers so that they can track which multicast packets to 
forward to each other and to their directly connected LANs. The SSM service model can be 
implemented with a strict subset of the PIM protocol mechanisms. Both regular IP multicast 
and SSM semantics can coexist on a single router, and both can be implemented using the 
PIM protocol. A range of multicast addresses, currently 232.0.0.0/8 in IPv4 and FF3x::/32 in 
IPv6, is reserved for SSM.
