Abstract: Presented herein is an exemplified system and method that facilitate network-aware orchestration of similar sets of virtualized multicast-traffic receivers and/or sources (e.g., Virtual Machines) under a common network fabric element (e.g., same leaf switch and/or spine switch in a data center network fabric), e.g., to reduce network switch work load and/or number of network fabric elements involved with transmission of multicast traffic. The orchestration of scattered- and like-sets of multicast-traffic receivers and/or sources under a common network fabric element (e.g., a single and same leaf switch and/or spine switch) facilitates improvements of the operation of orchestration management technologies and virtualization overlay technologies by, e.g., improving network efficiency for multicast packet switching, reducing control plane traffic (e.g., IGMP queries), and reducing delay- and packet-transfer errors.

Abstract: Presented herein is an exemplified system and method that facilitate network-aware consolidation, by orchestration, of similar sets of virtualized multicast-traffic receivers and/or sources (e.g., Virtual Machines) under a common network fabric element (e.g., same leaf switch and/or spine switch in a data center network fabric), e.g., to reduce network switch work load and/or number of network fabric elements involved with transmission of multicast traffic. The orchestration of scattered- and like-sets of multicast-traffic receivers and/or sources under a common network fabric element (e.g., a single and same leaf switch and/or spine switch) facilitates improvements of the operation of orchestration management technologies and virtualization overlay technologies by, e.g., improving network efficiency for multicast packet switching, reducing control plane traffic (e.g., IGMP queries), and reducing delay- and packet-transfer errors.
