Abstract:
Examples include receiving a first multicast packet, determining a first flow for the first multicast packet based on a multicast protocol, and storing the first flow in a routing table. The first flow comprises a first source and a first group and the routing table comprises a second flow with a second source and the first group. Additionally, examples include programming the first flow into a hardware memory resource and programming a summary flow into the hardware memory resource. The hardware memory resource comprises the second flow and the summary flow comprises a wild character that matches the first source and the second source.
