Abstract:
Various example embodiments for supporting stateless multicast in label switched packet networks are presented. Various example embodiments for supporting stateless multicast in label switched packet networks may be configured to support stateless multicast in label switched packet networks based on support for handling a label switched packet associated with a multicast group, where the label switched packet includes a payload and a header and, further, where the header includes a set of labels indicative of a group of egress routers including at least a portion of the egress routers of the multicast group.
