Abstract:
In some examples, a network device may determine whether a first egress network device is segment routing (SR) aware. Based on the first egress network device being SR aware, the network device may initiate establishment of an SR tunnel toward the first egress network device. The network device may forward multicast traffic on the SR tunnel. The network device may also determine whether a second egress network device is SR aware. Based on the second egress network device not being segment routing aware, the network device may initiate establishment of a non-SR tunnel toward the second egress network device. The network device may forward multicast traffic on the non-SR tunnel.
