HYBRID MODE MULTICAST ROUTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826525 titled 'HYBRID MODE MULTICAST ROUTING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for hybrid mode multicast routing.
- A switching device receives a first join request.
- The device programs states for two different protocol modes: a source aware mode (S, G) and a non-source aware mode (*, G).
- Based on the states associated with the non-source aware mode, the device sends a second join request.
- The innovation allows for efficient multicast routing by combining source aware and non-source aware protocols.
Original Abstract Submitted
Hybrid mode multicast routing may be provided. A switching device may receive a first join. Next, in response to receiving the first join, states for a first protocol mode (e.g., (S, G)) that is source aware and state for a second protocol mode (e.g., (*, G)) that is not source aware may be programed. Then a second join may be sent based on the states associated with the second protocol mode (e.g., (*, G)).
