  • Building multipoint-to-multipoint label switch paths
    Patent number: 8488616
    Abstract: Creating, maintaining, and using multipoint-to-multipoint label switch paths (LSP) in a provider network using a protocol such as multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) are presented. A multipoint-to-multipoint LSP, allowing bi-directional multicast-type transmission between routers in a core provider network, is provided, in part, by configuring routers within the core network to associate not only an upstream data interface with an upstream label, but also each downstream interface with an upstream label in an upstream state.
    Type: Grant
