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 9):
The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n wherein terminating forwarding the multicast traffic on the selective provider tunnel and resuming forwarding the multicast traffic on the inclusive provider tunnel comprises waiting a configured time period after determining, by the first ingress network device, that the multicast source is no longer multi-homed to the network via the first ingress network device and the second ingress network device, and terminating forwarding the multicast traffic on the selective provider tunnel and resuming forwarding the multicast traffic on the selective provider tunnel if the multicast source again becomes multi-homed prior to expiration of the configured time period.
