LATENCY ENHANCEMENTS FOR MULTICAST TRAFFIC OVER SPATIAL REUSE PROTOCOL (SRP)

摘要

Techniques for routing multicast packets in an SRP topology when there is a ring-wrap condition are provided. By routing multicast packets on both rings simultaneously, multicast packets may reach their destination receiver(s) with a fewer number of hops than if the packets had to traverse portions of both inner and outer ring paths when a ring wrapped condition exists.
