What is a benefit of shared trees over source trees when comparing multicast distribution trees?
- Shared trees receive traffic from all sources that send traffic to the multicast group.
- They require fewer multicast entries.
- They can allow multiple sources in an IP multicast group.
- They can be pruned.
Explanation: Shared trees receive traffic from all sources sending traffic to the same multicast group. This generates a lot of unnecessary traffic. However, because they use Rendezvous Points, shared trees require fewer multicast entries.
