Abstract:
Some examples relate to managing multicast scaling. In an example, a determination may be made at a network device whether more than a pre-defined percentage of ports of a virtual LAN (VLAN) are associated with an IP multicast group. In response to the determination that more than a pre-defined percentage of ports on the VLAN are associated with the IP multicast group, a flood filter may be programmed on the network device for the VLAN. A hardware filter previously associated with the IP multicast group may be disassociated.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying the port associated with the IP multicast group comprises determining whether the port has received a MLD protocol join message.
