    Abstract: An example method includes receiving, by a first hop router (FHR) and from a source device, multicast stream data associated with a multicast stream, sending, from the FHR and to a rendezvous point (RP) using a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocol, one or more null register messages that are each associated with the multicast stream. Each of the one or more null register messages includes a source address and a group address that are collectively associated with the multicast stream, and each of the one or more null register messages further includes an indication to request that the RP refrain from sending any register-stop messages associated with the multicast stream to the FHR. The example method further includes, after sending the one or more null register messages that are each associated with the multicast stream, sending, to the RP, the multicast stream data in a non-encapsulated format.

    Abstract: A node may receive a network topology message that identifies a first association of a first segment identifier (SID), relating to a loosely routed segment of a network, and an address of a first terminal interface associated with the loosely routed segment, or a second association of a second SID, relating to a strictly routed segment of the network, and an address of a second terminal interface associated with the strictly routed segment. The node may generate an entry in a segment translation table based on the first association or the second association. The node may route, according to the segment translation table, an internet protocol (IP) payload packet that has been encapsulated using an IPv6 transport header that has been extended with a compressed routing header of variable length.

    Abstract: A first network device may determine that a link-state database (LSDB), associated with the first network device, includes a first link-state advertisement (LSA) instance associated with a second network device. The first network device may determine that the first network device has not received a second LSA instance, associated with the second network device, that does not include information identifying a fully adjacent link between the second network device and the first network device. The first network device may receive the second LSA instance associated with the second network device and may transmit, to the second network device, a third LSA instance, associated with the first network device, that includes the information identifying the fully adjacent link between the second network device and the first network device, only after the second LSA instance is received.
