摘要： A mechanism is provided by which a transport tree identifier can be generated comprising both an opaque field, containing information that cannot be interpreted by core routers, and a non-opaque field, containing information that can be interpreted by core routers. The transport tree identifier is then used in the process of building a transport tree across a transport network. A transport network egress router can receive a request to join a multicast datastream from a downstream node outside of the transport network. The information contained in the join message that identifies the desired multicast datastream is encoded in the opaque field of the transport tree identifier. Information related to desired route properties is encoded in the non-opaque field, for interpretation by the core routers. The non-opaque field can also include an identifier of a root node core router for the transport tree. Route properties can be provided, for example, by selection and transmission from the customer itself, or route properties can be associated with a particular customer or associated with a port of an egress router coupled to the customer network.

摘要： A method, system, computer program product and apparatus are presented to enable a L2 network device, such as a bridge or switch, to control the flow of a multicast data stream to a connected router in response to control messages received from the router by the L2 network device. By controlling the flow of multicast data streams in this manner, there will be a corresponding reduction in wasted bandwidth due to unnecessary transmission of these multicast data streams and a reduction in processing overhead by the router due to analysis and dropping of unnecessary multicast frames. In one aspect of the present invention, the router can generate the control messages in response to receiving a data frame in a multicast data stream from the L2 network device. The router can determine whether a subscriber to that multicast data stream is connected downstream of the router and then transmit an appropriate control message to the upstream L2 network device, indicating whether the router does or does not have a downstream subscriber. In response to such a control message, the L2 network device can cease transmitting the multicast data stream to the router, if appropriate.

摘要： Method and system for providing ad-splicer N+1 redundancy in a network by employing IP network intelligence and techniques to facilitate a redundant ad-splicer assuming, within a few seconds, the functionality of the failed primary ad-splicer. The network triggers the installation of unicast and multicast routes on an interface by tracking one or more unicast routes to deliver the unicast and (pre-spliced) multicast traffic to the redundant ad-splicer. The network dynamically adjusts the multicast trees to continue to deliver the post-spliced multicast traffic to the intended receivers.

摘要： In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a join message from a receiver at a receiver edge router, the join message identifying a source and a group, and creating at least two forwarding trees for transmitting multicast data streams comprising duplicate data to the receiver edge router. The forwarding trees include a root at a source edge router in communication with the source, and different network paths. The method further includes receiving a packet from one of the forwarding trees and processing the received packet to determine if the packet is a duplicate of another packet received at the receiver edge router. If the packet is a duplicate packet, it is discarded. If the packet is not a duplicate, it is forwarded to the receiver. An apparatus is also disclosed.

摘要： A mechanism is provided by which a transport tree identifier can be generated using one or more identifiers for a multicast datastream. The transport tree identifier can then be used in the process of building a transport tree across a transport network. A transport network egress router can receive a request to join a multicast datastream from a downstream node outside of the transport network. The information contained in the join message that identifies the desired multicast datastream can be encoded in the transport tree identifier. The transport tree identifier can be related to one or more of a multicast group destination address, a multicast datastream source address, and a broadcast domain identifier.
