Abstract: Implementations generally relate to data transmission in networks. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a first management protocol message from a first edge device, where the first management protocol message includes first edge device information associated with the first edge device, receiver device information associated with a receiver device, and a request by the receiver device to receive multicast data. The method also includes receiving a second management protocol message from a second edge device, where the second management protocol message includes second edge device information associated with the second edge device and sender device information associated with a sender device. The method also includes enabling unicast communication between the sender device and the receiver device based on the first management protocol message and the second management protocol message.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to data transmission in networks. In some implementations, a method includes determining communication paths in a network, where the communication paths connect a plurality of network nodes, and where the network nodes include one or more edge devices and one or more core devices. The method further includes determining if a forwarding information base (FIB) is permitted at at least one network node. The method further includes filtering one or more packets at the at least one network node if the FIB is not permitted. The method further includes enabling traffic flow of one or more packets at the at least one network node if the FIB is permitted.
