    摘要: A multicast transmission scheme is introduced. A multicast data stream is sent on a default tunnel and switched to a data tunnel during flooding conditions. The default tunnel is a point-to-multipoint tunnel from, for example, a source provider edge router to all other provider edge routers in a virtual private network. The data tunnel is a point-to-multipoint tunnel from, for example, a source provider edge router to other provider edge routers that have recipients. Flooding conditions can occur when sending the multicast data stream on the default tunnel, for example, when a specified bandwidth threshold has been exceeded on a source provider edge router. Additionally, the data tunnel is created by selecting a multicast distribution tunnel group from a configured pool of addresses, advertising the group, receiving data joins from, for example, provider edge routers with recipients, and waiting a specified send time.

    摘要: Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, computer-readable media, mechanisms, and means for reducing packet flooding by a packet switch. A packet switch receives a flood prevention request message from an upstream router, with this message identifying a forwarding media access control (MAC) address and one or more destination MAC addresses of downstream routers. The packet switch looks up, typically in its forwarding data structure(s), these specified MAC addresses of the downstream routers in order to determine its corresponding ports on which to communicate with these MAC addresses. The packet switch updates its forwarding data structures accordingly such that a received multicast packet having as its destination MAC address the received forwarding MAC address will be forwarded out only these determined ports.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a particular multicast-enabled device on a LAN may determine that it is to send a Join message to an upstream multicast-enabled device that is configured to source multicast data into the LAN. As such, the particular device may transmit a Join message to the upstream device, where the Join message may have a Hello Request indication when there are no downstream multicast neighbors for the upstream device in the LAN, or may not have the Hello Request indication if there is at least one downstream multicast neighbor for the upstream device. Specifically, the Hello Request requests that the upstream device transmit Hello messages onto the LAN. Multicast-enabled devices in the LAN may thus transmit Hello messages in response to receiving a Join message having a Hello Request directed to that particular device, that is, transmitting the Hello messages so long as there is interest in receiving them.
