MULTICAST CONFIGURATIONS FOR COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

Abstract

Systems and methods herein are for multicast configurations in a network using a switch that can receive communication for a multicast group and that can transmit at least data from the communication to different destination nodes. The communication may include, in addition to the data, a multicast identifier associated with first egress ports of the switch and a bitmask representation associated with second egress ports of the switch. The transmission of the data can occur through the first egress ports and the second egress ports to reach the different destination nodes.
