Original Abstract Submitted
in some aspects, a method for establishing a multicast-only fast re-route (frr) (mofrr) path between a source node and a receiving node in a network, the method includes receiving, by a merged receiving node, a plurality of data packets in a data flow comprising an frr indicator, wherein the merged receiving node is configured to identify an frr path for data transmission to the source node, extracting, by the merged receiving node, from the frr indicator, an identification of the source node as a destination of the data transmission, and a first identifier identifying a first data packet as part of a first flow of a mofrr, and a second identifier identifying a second data packet as part of a second flow of a mofrr, transmitting, by the receiving node, the first data packet along a primary data path and the second data packet along a secondary data path.
