Abstract: Programmed border gateway devices and a corresponding method are provided for stitching together heterogeneous multicast domains within a network. The method includes programming static multicast routes associated with a given multicast flow into border gateway devices. Based on the static multicast routes, the border gateway devices may send join requests to one or more network devices in their domains and receive a multicast stream in response. The border gateway devices may forward the received multicast stream to other border gateway devices, which may deliver the multicast stream to one or more receiving devices in their respective network domains.
