Abstract:
A method including receiving, at a first router of a plurality of routers, a first message from the plurality of routers. The first message includes a designated router priority and a weight for each respective router. Based on the designated router priorities, a designated router is elected and a one or more eligible group designated routers are determined. The method determines whether the first router is the designated router or the at least one eligible group designated router. If the first router is the designated router, the first router provides a second message to the remaining routers indicating the eligible group designated routers and their weights.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n determining, based on the weighted load balancing capability option, whether the at least one eligible group designated router does not support weighted load balancing; when the at least one eligible group designated router does not support weighted load balancing and the first router is the designated router:\n providing, by the first router, a third message to each of the other of the plurality of routers identifying the at least one eligible group designated router; \n when the at least one eligible group designated router does not support weighted load balancing and when the first router is an eligible group designated router:\n receiving, by the first router, the third message from the designated router; and \n routing, by the first router, at least one multicast network traffic flow based on a hash function.
