发明名称 Efficient IP multicast bridging in ethernet switches
摘要 A system including a memory configured to store a bridge table, in which the bridge table includes an entry associating each of an Internet Protocol multicast destination address and an Internet Protocol source address with a port indicator, and the port indicator identifies one or more ports of a switch. The system further includes a controller configured to, in response to the switch receiving an Ethernet packet comprising an Internet Protocol multicast packet, i) generate a key based on each of an Internet Protocol multicast destination address and an Internet Protocol source address associated with the Ethernet packet, ii) lookup the bridge table using the key, and iii) flood the Ethernet packet to the one or more ports identified by the port indicator in response to confirming, based on the key, that the entry in the bridge table is an Internet Protocol multicast entry.
