Abstract:
1. A method for instantly aging-out group and source video channel records in a state transition table located within a router, said method comprising the steps of: receiving one or more change messages, including a Change-to-Include-Mode message associated with one or more sources and one or more IPTV channels, from a remote network element; performing one or more actions based on a first old state and the Change-to-Include-Mode message associated with the one or more sources and the one or more IPTV channels to obtain a first new state where neither of the one or more actions required that a query be sent to the remote network element; and updating the first old state to the first new state in the state transition table where the transition from the first old state to the first new state instantly aged-out at least a portion of the group and source video channel records associated with the first old state.
