Abstract: A method for multicast routing may include receiving, at a router of a receiving multicast domain, a data packet from a forwarding multicast domain. The method may further include configuring the router to operate as if a multicast forwarding information base entry is directly connected, and configuring the router with a reverse path forwarding override with source discovery such that a path used by multicast traffic is different from a path used for unicast traffic.
