Claim 0:
1. A method for sending an assert message in a multicast network, comprising:
determining, by a network node, a plurality of assert records based on one multicast source address, wherein each of the plurality of assert records comprises the multicast source address and one multicast group address, and multicast group addresses comprised in different assert records in the plurality of assert records are different from each other, wherein the plurality of assert records include a first assert record and a second assert record in a first assert record set and wherein the first assert record and the second assert record have same multicast source address;
generating, by the network node, one assert message based on the plurality of assert records, wherein the assert message comprises the multicast source address and the multicast group addresses in the plurality of assert records; and
sending, by the network node, the assert message in a multicast mode.
