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 10):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first ingress network device comprises an ingress provider edge (PE) router that receives the multicast traffic from the multicast source from external to the network and forwards the multicast traffic into the network toward multicast receivers, and wherein the egress network device comprises an egress PE router that receives the multicast traffic from the network and forwards the multicast traffic towards multicast receivers external to the network.
