    Abstract: A method includes receiving multicast traffic intended for host devices; identifying a flow associated with the multicast traffic; retrieving information associated with a group of multicast trees, where the group of multicast trees includes information associated with a group of I/O units, associated with a network node; identifying a particular tree that corresponds to the identified flow, where the particular tree includes information associated with a set of I/O units; and transferring the multicast traffic to an I/O unit, of the set of I/O units, based on the identification of the particular tree, where the transferring enables the I/O unit to send a copy of the multicast traffic to other I/O units of the set of I/O units, and the set of I/O units to process the multicast traffic in a manner that utilizes bandwidth or processing resources in a controlled manner and to send a copy of the multicast traffic to each of the host devices.

    Abstract translation: 一种方法包括接收用于主机设备的多播流量; 识别与多播流量相关联的流; 检索与一组多播树相关联的信息,其中所述多播树组包括与网络节点相关联的与一组I / O单元相关联的信息; 识别对应于所识别的流的特定树,其中所述特定树包括与一组I / O单元相关联的信息; 并且基于特定树的标识将组播流量传送到I / O单元集合的I / O单元,其中传输使I / O单元能够将多播业务的副本发送到其他I 一组I / O单元的O / O单元,以及以受控方式利用带宽或处理资源的方式处理组播流量的I / O单元组,并将多播流量的副本发送到 主机设备。
