  • Multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP) loop avoidance
    Patent number: 11582054
    Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques for enhancements to the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) to reduce Source Active (SA) message loops in one or more multicast domains having overlapping MSDP mesh groups. In some examples, a method includes receiving, by a first MSDP speaker, from a second MSDP speaker, a SA message. The method also includes, when the second MSDP speaker is in a mesh group with the first MSDP speaker, determining whether the first MSDP speaker includes an active SA state corresponding to the SA message. Additionally, the method includes, when the first MSDP speaker does not include the active SA state corresponding to the SA message, accepting the SA message and forwarding the SA message to a third MSDP speaker that is not in the mesh group with the first MSDP speaker and the second MSDP speaker.
