Abstract: A network device creates multiple forwarding tables, and each forwarding table includes information associated with a first set of destinations and a second set of destinations. The first set of destinations is different than the second set of destinations. The network device determines, for each forwarding table, next hops for the first set of destinations, and determines, for each forwarding table, equal cost multipath next hops for the second set of destinations. The network device populates the multiple forwarding tables with information associated with the next hops and the equal cost multipath next hops, and the multiple forwarding tables are used to forward a multicast packet toward multiple destinations.

Abstract: A network device creates a forwarding table that includes information associated with a set of destinations in a network, and determines next hops for the set of destinations. The network device populates the forwarding table with information associated with the next hops, and stores the forwarding table. The forwarding table is used to forward a multicast packet toward a multiple destinations, and includes separate entries that depend upon routes the multicast packet is to traverse towards destinations with multiple choices for next hops.
