Abstract: In an example method for redundant multicast trees with fast recovery, a protocol independent multicast (PIM) backup designated router (BDR) can receive a request from a host to join a multicast group associated with a source; send to a next hop a PIM join message identifying an address of the PIM BDR and identifying the PIM join message as a backup PIM join; receive, from a PIM router along a path to/from the source, a unicast message sent to the address which identifies a second address associated with the PIM router; store the second address and a route associated with the unicast message; in response to a designated router migration trigger, set to blocking a backup multicast tree state associated with the source and multicast group; and send, to the PIM router, a unicast message including instructions to set to blocking a backup multicast tree state at the PIM router.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for improving convergence of Protocol Independent Multicast assert state information in multicast groups. A method includes forwarding, by a router, a PIM join message originating from a destination host and stores distribution tree information based on the join message. The method further includes participating, by the router, in a Protocol Independent Multicast (“PIM”) assert election among a plurality of routers and storing, by the router, PIM assert state information based on an outcome of the PIM assert election. The method further includes acquiring, by the router, routing information base (“RIB”) convergence. The method further includes triggering by the router, or causing, by the router, another router to trigger, a PIM assert among the plurality of routers. The method further includes re-converging, by the router, with PIM assert states among the plurality of routers and storing, by the router, converged PIM assert state information.

Abstract: A method including determining that network traffic being transmitted is unicast or multicast; mapping to which virtual network and locator address each host belongs; generating leaking data for unicast and multicast traffic, wherein the leaking data indicates that a first virtual network leaks traffic to a second virtual network; receiving a request from the second virtual network to receive traffic from a host in the first virtual network; determining, based on the leaking data and the type of traffic being transmitted, if the first virtual network leaks traffic to the second virtual network; if the first virtual network leaks traffic to the second virtual network, determining a locator address for the host in the first virtual network using the mapping data; and transmitting the locator address for the host to the second virtual network to enable traffic leaking from the host to the second virtual network is disclosed.
