PIM PROXY OVER EVPN FABRIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240348553 titled 'PIM PROXY OVER EVPN FABRIC
The patent application describes a system and methods for reducing traffic volume in a multicast network caused by maintenance messages. The system configures provider edge devices to send maintenance messages on behalf of multicast group members, reducing overall network traffic.
- Provider edge devices generate and send maintenance messages for multicast group members.
- Options are provided to determine unknown locations of sources and/or subscribers.
- Reduces the volume of traffic transmitted over the multicast network.
- Helps establish and maintain multicast connections efficiently.
- Improves network performance by minimizing unnecessary traffic.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in telecommunications, video streaming services, online gaming platforms, and any other network where multicast connections are used.
Problems Solved: Reduces network congestion caused by repeated maintenance messages. Improves the efficiency of multicast connections. Enhances overall network performance by minimizing unnecessary traffic.
Benefits: Optimizes network resources. Reduces bandwidth usage. Improves the quality of service for multicast applications.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be utilized by internet service providers, content delivery networks, and online gaming platforms to enhance the efficiency and performance of their multicast networks.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system help in reducing network congestion caused by maintenance messages? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the telecommunications industry?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in multicast network optimization and traffic management to further enhance the efficiency of this technology.
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.
