CREDIT-BASED FLOW CONTROL FOR MULTICAST PACKETS IN LOSSLESS ETHERNET NETWORKS |
| 摘要 |
Methods, systems, and computer program products presented herein provide for self-routing multicast. In one embodiment, a system includes a switch controller including a hardware processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor, the logic being adapted to receive a multicast data stream join request from a source device in a network, create a multipath identifier (ID) for the multipath data stream, create a series of path identifiers (IDs) for each intermediate switch in the network based on a local network topology database, each path ID being associated with a desired output port bitmap, and transmit the multipath ID and a path ID to a source of the multicast data stream, the path ID corresponding to the source of the multicast data stream join request. |

1. A system, comprising:
a switch controller comprising a hardware processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor, the logic being adapted to:
receive a multicast data stream join request from a source device in a network;create a multipath identifier (ID) for the multipath data stream;create a series of path identifiers (IDs) for each intermediate switch in the network based on a local network topology database, each path ID being associated with a desired output port bitmap; andtransmit the multipath ID and a path ID to a source of the multicast data stream, the path ID corresponding to the source of the multicast join request. |
