Abstract: A network device creates a forwarding table that includes information associated with a set of destinations in a network, and determines next hops for the set of destinations. The network device populates the forwarding table with information associated with the next hops, and stores the forwarding table. The forwarding table is used to forward a multicast packet toward a multiple destinations, and includes separate entries that depend upon routes the multicast packet is to traverse towards destinations with multiple choices for next hops.

Abstract translation: 网络设备创建转发表，其包括与网络中的一组目的地相关联的信息，并确定该组目的地的下一跳。 网络设备使用与下一跳相关联的信息填充转发表，并存储转发表。 转发表用于将多播数据包转发到多个目的地，并且包括依赖于组播数据包穿过到具有下一跳的多个选择的目的地的路由的单独条目。
