    Abstract: In one embodiment, a first label-distribution-protocol (LDP) session is established between a first interface of a first computing device and a second computing device, while a second LDP session is established between a second interface and the second computing device. The method may further comprise receiving a request from a third computing device to subscribe to a multicast group, storing an association between a first label, the multicast group, and the first interface, and sending, to the second computing device via the first LDP session, an indication that the first label is associated with the multicast group. Further, the method may include receiving a request from a fourth computing device to subscribe to the multicast group, storing an association between a second label, the multicast group and, the second interface, and sending, via the second LDP session, an indication that the second label is associated with the multicast group.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a programming content addressable memory (CAM) comprising at least one match line, the at least one match line being preloaded to high, and being logically OR-ed for all selector lines the at least one match line being inverted to low upon a match result the at least one match line comprising transistors and grounding which are activated only when a stored data value and a corresponding selector line evaluate to 1 and the corresponding selector line having a logical AND with the stored data value, wherein the programming CAM is implemented as a Bit Indexed Explicit Replication (BIER) table. Related apparatus, systems and methods are also described.

    Abstract: A method is performed at a router configured to perform Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) for forwarding of multicast packets in a network. The method includes, upon receiving a multicast packet of a multicast flow, accessing flow mappings in which multicast flows are mapped to fixed accounting values corresponding to the multicast flows. The method further comprises generating a BIER header for the multicast packet by encoding a multi-segment entropy field of the BIER header with (i) a variable entropy value for equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) load balancing, and (ii) a fixed accounting value among the fixed accounting values that is mapped to the multicast flow in the flow mappings. The method also includes encapsulating the multicast packet with the BIER header to produce an encapsulated multicast packet, and forwarding the encapsulated multicast packet.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a number of target network apparatuses within a network to which a first network apparatus belongs, generating a first message including a reply-required indication and encoded identities for the plurality of target network apparatuses, sending the first message through the network, where the network is configured to deliver a copy of the first message to each of the target network apparatuses using a point-to-multipoint packet-forwarding architecture, receiving one or more second messages from one or more of the target network apparatuses, respectively, where each of the one or more second messages is generated as a reply to the first message by one of the one or more target network apparatuses, and identifying which of the plurality of target network apparatuses failed to respond to the first message based on the received one or more second messages.
