Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to a method and device for detecting RP status in a multicast network, an RP device and a multicast system. Background technique
[0002] As an effective IP transmission solution, multicast technology can save backbone network bandwidth and is applicable to services with large data transmission, such as emerging e-commerce, online conferences, online auctions, video on demand and distance teaching In services such as unicast, it can effectively avoid the high requirement of network bandwidth for unicast transmission. Therefore, multicast technology has been widely used.
[0003] In a multicast network, a multicast shared tree needs to be established to transmit packets, and the multicast shared tree is implemented through a multicast routing protocol. Among them, Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) is a widely used multicast ro...
