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 1):
A method comprising:\n determining, by a first ingress network device, whether a multicast source is multi- homed to the network via the first ingress network device and a second ingress network device for the network; in response to determining that the multicast source is not multi-homed to the network, forwarding, by the first ingress network device, multicast traffic for the multicast source and a multicast group on an inclusive provider tunnel to an egress network device for the network; and in response to determining that the multicast source is multi-homed to the network, initiating, by the first ingress network device, setup of a selective provider tunnel to the egress network device and terminating forwarding the multicast traffic on the inclusive provider tunnel to the egress network device.
