Abstract:
In some examples, a method includes receiving, by a first ingress network device for a network, a source tree join route message from an egress network device for the network, specifying a multicast source and a multicast group, and in response to receiving the source tree join route message, determining, by the ingress network device, whether the multicast source is multi-homed to the network via the first ingress network device and a second ingress network device for the network. The method includes, in response to determining that the multicast source is not multi-homed, forwarding traffic for the multicast source on an inclusive provider tunnel without initiating setup of a selective provider tunnel to the egress network device, and in response to determining that the multicast source is multi-homed, initiating setup of a selective provider tunnel to the egress network device and terminating forwarding multicast traffic on the inclusive provider tunnel.

Claim (Index 17):
The network device of  claim 11 , wherein the instructions to initiate setup of the selective provider tunnel to the egress network device further comprise instructions that when executed, cause the at least one computer processor of the network device to:\n send a selective provider multicast service interface (S-PMSI) route announcing the network device as a root of the selective provider tunnel that will transport traffic for the multicast source.
