Claim 8:
9. A device for sending an assert message, comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the processor, wherein the processor executes the programming instructions to cause the device to:
determine 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;
generate 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
send the assert message in a multicast mode.
