  • Fast reroute of redundant multicast streams
    Patent number: 9806895
    Abstract: A system and method for selecting packets to be forwarded from redundant multicast streams. A primary multicast stream and a secondary multicast stream are received, wherein the primary multicast stream and the secondary multicast stream are redundant multicast streams received over disjoint multicast forwarding paths. A hardware-based analyzer in a forwarding plane of the network device is applied to detect when a quality of one of the primary multicast stream or the secondary multicast stream has fallen below a threshold. In response to detecting that a quality of one of the primary multicast stream or the secondary multicast stream has fallen below a threshold, selecting, via a thread executing in a forwarding component of the network device, a different one of the primary multicast stream or the secondary multicast stream having a quality that meets the threshold, wherein selecting includes dynamically rewriting next hop operations associated with the selected stream.
