| 20100046516 | Methods and Devices for Managing Multicast Traffic - A multicast router having one or more downstream network interfaces situated in a data network system between sources that send multicast packets to at least one multicast group address and one or more hosts that request data from the multicast group address and the sources. The multicast router receives ASM (Any Source Multicast) traffic requests and SSM (Source Specific Multicast) traffic requests from the one or more hosts using a host-router multicast routing protocol and stores for a downstream network interface and multicast group address at least one INCLUDE source record containing a non-empty source list derived by the SSM and the ASM traffic requests made by the one or more hosts and/or at least one EXCLUDE source record containing a non-empty Requested source list derived by the SSM and the ASM traffic requests made by the one or more hosts. In an alternative implementation a multicast router is provided that has one or more downstream network interfaces and is situated in a data network system between sources that send multicast packets to at least one multicast group address and multiple hosts that request data from the multicast group address and the sources. The multicast router stores for a each downstream network interface, each multicast group address and each host at least one INCLUDE source record and at least one EXCLUDE source record which are derived from ASM and SSM traffic requests made by the hosts using a host-router multicast routing protocol. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100054247 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANAGING MULTICAST GROUPS - A method for managing multicast traffic in a data network, and devices using said method. The hosts store for each multicast group an included source record and an excluded source record, and the network interfaces of the hosts send to the router a message containing information about the included source record and information about the excluded source record. The router also stores for each multicast group an included source record and an excluded source record, and updates them when it receives through its network interface a message from the hosts containing information about an included source list and/or information about an excluded source list. The devices are a router, host equipment and network equipment compatible with the method. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20110019673 | MULTICAST TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN A NETWORK INTERFACE - A method for filtering in a network interface of a computer system multicast packets in a manner that reduces or obviates altogether the processing of unwanted multicast packets by the processing unit of the computer system. Filtering in the network interface is accomplished by the network interface accessing multicast traffic request information originating in the computer system and comparing the accessed information with the multicast destination address and IP source address of packets received in the network interface. | 01-27-2011 |
