Abstract:
A method for reverse path forwarding (RPF) selection by a network device connected to a network includes receiving an advertisement message from each of a plurality of neighbor devices within the network, parsing the advertisement message to determine a color identification (ID) of each of the neighbor devices, and selecting, from among the neighbor devices, a RPF device based on the color ID of each of the neighbor devices.
