Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a first device in a multicast label distribution (mLDP) network receives a first label mapping message that includes IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of a root node of a multicast tree. The first device also receives a second label mapping message from a second device that identifies the multicast tree and includes one of: the IPv4 address or the IPv6 address of the root node. The first device determines that the second label mapping message is associated with the multicast tree. In response to determining that the second label mapping message is associated with the multicast tree, the first device adds the second device to the multicast tree.
