A technique of operating a network node of a multicast communication network comprising a plurality of network nodes which are interconnected with each other by communication links is provided, wherein the network node is associate with a common source network node. A method implementation of the technique comprises: determining a first path which connects the network node to the common source network node along a primary network tree, and determining a second path which connects the network node to the common source network node along a secondary network tree, wherein the first path and the second path show redundancy with respect to each other; receiving, at the network node, multicast data from the common source network node via the first path; triggering, by the network node, reception of multicast data from the common source network node via the second path if the network node detects a failure of the first path (e.g., determines that no multicast data is received via the first path). |
