Sure, but GLOP predated SSM, and was really only an interim fix for the presumed need of mcast address assignments. GLOP only gives you a /24 for each ASN where SSM gives you a /8 for every unique unicast address you have along with vastly superior security and network simplicity.

Why do you think you need an assigned mcast block? All inter domain mcast uses source trees only, so just use SSM and you don't need address assignments.
