Original Abstract Submitted
A system and associated methods provide solutions for reducing a volume of traffic through a multicast network attributed to repeated maintenance messages, which are required in order to maintain a multicast connection. The system configures provider edge devices to generate and send maintenance messages on behalf of members of a multicast group to establish and maintain the multicast connection and provides options for determining unknown locations of sources and/or subscribers, thereby reducing the overall volume of traffic transmitted over the multicast network.
