Abstract

A system, apparatus, and method are directed to managing multicast routing using a network cluster. A cluster master actively participates in multicast control protocol communications with the cluster neighbors, while non-master member nodes, do not participate in the protocols' operation outside of the cluster. However, each cluster member maintains virtually the same protocol state, such that should the master become unavailable, another cluster member may assume the master role with minimum delay. New members to the cluster are synchronized by receiving initial protocol state information from the master. After the initial protocol state synchronization, cluster members actively monitor the network to acquire new protocol state information. In addition, cluster members exchange protocol state information between themselves that may not be obtainable off the network. Filtering of multicast data packets is performed by each cluster member, to load balance multicast data traffic across the cluster members.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Patent Application 11 / 027,018, filed December 30, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The present invention relates generally to computing management, and more particularly to methods and systems for managing multicast routing within a cluster with state synchronization. Background technique [0003] Multicast is a means for efficient delivery of content over packet-based networks. Signal packets sent from a source can be used to provide the contents of the packet to multiple recipients on the network. A set of receivers that want to receive some media content from a source can be spread across the network, even across different networks. There is usually some optimal path for each of the recipients to deliver the content to. If the paths from the source to each of the receivers are compared, there may be overlap of paths. The degree of overlap will vary based on the location of e...
