Abstract: A process includes receiving, at a downstream interface of a high availability pair of network devices, a join request. The availability pair of network devices includes a first network device and a second network device. The join request represents a request by a client device to join a multicast group associated with a source address and a multicast group address. The process includes, responsive to the join request, exporting, by the first network device, first static multicast route information from a second interface of the first network device. The first static multicast route information corresponds to a routing of multicast traffic associated with the multicast group through the first network device. The process further includes, responsive to the join message, controlling, by the second network device, exporting of second static multicast route information from the second network device to prevent duplicate multicast traffic associated with the multicast group from being sent by the high availability pair. The second static multicast route information corresponds to a routing of the multicast traffic associated with the multicast group through the second network device.

Abstract: A system for multicast traffic management in an overlay tunnel fabric is provided. The system can operate a first switch and a second switch of the fabric as part of a virtual switch. The virtual switch can operate as a gateway for the fabric. The system can efficiently deploy a rendezvous point (RP) for a multicast group at the first switch. During operation, the system can determine whether to synchronize a registration packet associated with the multicast group with the second switch based on a type of a first ingress connection associated with the registration packet. The system can then determine whether to receive subsequent registration packets for the multicast group based on the type of the first ingress connection and reception of a join request for the multicast group. The type of a respective connection indicates whether the connection includes an overlay tunnel.

Abstract: During operation, a layer-3 (L3) router can receive a trace query to trace multicast paths associated with a multicast group. In response to detecting a layer-2 (L2) switch coupled to the L3 router, the L3 router can construct a request packet and send the request packet to the coupled L2 switch. The request packet comprises a first data block indicating that the request packet is an L2 multicast trace request, thereby causing the L2 switch to propagate the request packet to downstream L2 switches until the request packet reaches a last-hop L2 switch. The L3 router can receive, from the last-hop L2 switch, a reply packet responsive to the L2 multicast trace request, the reply packet comprising one or more data blocks, with each data block comprising information about an L2 switch or client device present on a traversed multicast path for the multicast group.

Abstract: A system for multicast packet management in a first switch in an overlay tunnel fabric is provided. The system can operate the first switch as part of a virtual switch in conjunction with a second switch of the fabric. The virtual switch can operate as a gateway for the fabric. During operation, the system can receive a join request for a multicast group. The system can then determine whether to forward the join request to the second switch based on a type of a first ingress connection of the join request. Upon receiving a data packet for the multicast group, the system can determine how to forward the data packet based on respective types of a second ingress connection and an egress connection of the data packet. The type of a respective connection can indicate whether the connection includes an overlay tunnel.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates a system and a method of identifying network faults residing in an underlay network. A network device initiating fault analysis sends a query message through a tunnel interface present in an overlay network configured over an underlay network. While an upstream interface is a network tunnel having a first end and a second end, a unicast path from the first end to the second end of the network tunnel is traced using a network route analysis function. Reachability of a destination device present on the second end of the network tunnel is identified. An output of the network route analysis function is appended with an output of a multicast network connectivity determining function to produce an appended result that is shared with the network device initiating fault analysis.

Abstract: One aspect can provide a system and method for selective data forwarding in a multicast network. During operation, a querier router in the multicast network receives, at a first port of, a query-response packet from a network device in response to an all-host query sent by the querier router and add the first port to a port list comprising a number of ports coupled to non-querier devices in the multicast network. In response to receiving a multicast-join message, the querier router can forward the multicast-join message to the ports on the port list comprising the first port except for a port that receives the multicast-join message. Forwarding the multicast-join message to the first port causes the multicast-join message to be received at a second port of a layer-2 switch, which allows the layer-2 switch to forward unknown multicast data packets to the querier device via the second port.

Abstract: A system for facilitating efficient multicast programming in a switch is provided. During operation, the system can parse a multicast data structure that can map an ingress interface, a source, and a multicast group to a set of egress interfaces. Based on the data structure, the system can generate a cache that can map an egress interface to an ingress interface indicated in the data structure. Upon receiving a join request via a first interface, the system can look up the first interface in the cache. If the first interface matches a cache entry, the system can identify an ingress interface from the cache entry. The system can then program, in the data structure, a route entry with the first interface as an egress interface and the ingress interface. Subsequently, if a multicast data packet matches the route entry, the system can forward the packet via the first interface.
