Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for logical flow aggregation for fragmented multicast flows, the methods including the steps of identifying a plurality of fragmented multicast flows that are logically related as a single flow in a multicast network; generating a plurality of multicast joins associated with the plurality of fragmented multicast flows, wherein each multicast join of the plurality of multicast joins includes a join attribute comprising a common flow identifier that identifies the plurality of fragmented multicast flows as logically related; and selecting a reverse forwarding path toward an upstream device for the plurality of multicast joins.
