RECURSIVE BITSTRING STRUCTURE ADDRESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18654549 titled 'RECURSIVE BITSTRING STRUCTURE ADDRESSING
The multicast method described in the patent application involves receiving a packet with a recursive bitstring structure, including forwarding instructions for multiple network elements.
- The method includes recursive units (RUs) within the network element, each with forwarding instructions for other network elements and additional RUs.
- The RUs also contain locating fields to indicate the position of the network element and additional RUs.
- The packet is forwarded based on the forwarding instructions in the RU, with updated locating fields for subsequent network elements.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in large-scale network communication systems where multicast routing is essential. - It may find applications in video streaming services, online gaming platforms, and real-time data distribution networks.

Original Abstract Submitted
A multicast method performed by a network element includes receiving a packet that includes a payload and an addressing header with a recursive bitstring (RBS) structure. The RBS structure includes a recursive unit (RU) of the network element, comprising a forwarding bitstring field indicating one or more other network elements to which to forward the payload, and one or more additional RUs each comprising a forwarding bitstring field indicating how the other network elements should forward the payload. The RBS structure further includes one or more RU locating fields, indicating a location within the RU of the network element and the one or more additional RUs. The method further includes forwarding the packet according to the forwarding bitstring field in the RU of the network element, where the forwarded packet comprises rewritten RU locating fields indicating a location within the RU of an RU of a subsequent network element.
