An apparatus and method of minimizing multicast traffic in a given multicast domain, the given multicast domain having a plurality of network devices, the plurality of network devices including at least one responsible network device, the responsible network device being responsible for at least one particular multicast traffic, configures a network device in the multicast domain to coordinate multicast messages sent to and from the multicast domain and generates a peering relationship between the configured network device and each responsible network device. The peering relationship ensures that a responsible network device receives multicast messages which reference its particular multicast traffic only.
