SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS TO RESOLVE RPF-VECTOR ATTRIBUTE CONFLICTS

摘要

Systems, methods and apparatus to resolve join packet RPF vector attribute conflicts in a network by adding an identified proxy to a proxy list, the proxy being valid if it is reachable and if a valid PIM adjacency exists on one of the next route hops, and selecting one of multiple valid proxies within the proxy list according to a hierarchy of selection mechanisms.
