Abstract:
In an example, a wired network device receives a first join message originating from a client device associated with a first wireless access point (WAP) connected to another wired network device in a broadcast domain. An entry corresponding to the client device is created in a remote receiver record of the wired network device. In response to the client device transitioning from the first WAP to a second WAP connected to the wired network device, it is determined that the client device is locally connected to the wired network device. Intention of the client device to receive multicast traffic is identified. A second join message directed to the network address of the multicast group and distributed in the broadcast domain. A traffic flow path for the multicast traffic via the wired network device and the second WAP to the client device is configured.
