Abstract:
A hierarchical domain includes egress routers, an ingress router, set gateway routers, and subdomain gateway routers. The ingress router receives a multicast packet in a flow associated with the egress routers. The ingress router is in a first set of egress routers in a first subdomain of the hierarchical domain. The set gateway routers provide gateways to second sets of the plurality of egress routers in the first subdomain. The subdomain gateway routers provide gateways to second subdomains that includes sets of the plurality of egress routers. The ingress router generates a first copy of the multicast packet for transmission to the first set of egress routers based on a first bitstring, a second copy of the multicast packet for transmission to the set gateway routers based on a second bitstring, and a third copy of the multicast packet to the subdomain gateway routers based on a third bitstring.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving a multicast packet at a first router of a hierarchical domain; multicasting, from the first router, a first copy of the multicast packet to a first subset of egress routers in a local group associated with the first router based on a first bitstring that identifies the first subset of the egress routers; and multicasting, from the first router, a second copy of the multicast packet to at least one second router based on a second bitstring that identifies the at least one second router, wherein the at least one second router is disposed between the first router and a second subset of the egress routers.
