Abstract: A novel method of conducting multicast traffic in a network is provided. The network includes multiple endpoints that receive messages from the network and generate messages for the network. The endpoints are located in different segments of the network, each segment including one or more of the endpoints. For a source endpoint to replicate a particular message (e.g., a data packet) for all endpoints belonging to a particular replication group (i.e., multicast group) within the network, the source endpoint replicates the particular message to each endpoint within the source endpoint's own segment and to a proxy endpoint in each of the other segments. Each proxy endpoint in turn replicates the particular message to all endpoints belonging to the particular replication group within the proxy endpoint's own segment.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种在网络中进行组播流量的新颖方法。 网络包括从网络接收消息并为网络生成消息的多个端点。 端点位于网络的不同段中，每个段包括一个或多个端点。 对于源端点来复制属于网络内特定复制组（即多播组）的所有端点的特定消息（例如，数据包），源端点会将特定消息复制到源端点自身的每个端点 段和每个其他段中的代理端点。 每个代理端点反过来将特定消息复制到属于代理端点自身段内特定复制组的所有端点。
