Abstract:
Examples disclosed herein relate to a method comprising determining, at a first node, that a first Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) port of the first node is down, wherein the first node belongs to a plurality of network nodes connected in a ring topology to form an access network. The method includes determining, at the first node, that the first ERPS port is a querier port, wherein the first ERPS port is paired with a second ERPS port of the first node and marking the second ERPS port as the querier port of the first node. The method includes transmitting, by the first node, an IGMP join message to a device part of a multicast implementation, wherein the multicast implementation covers at least the ring topology.
