  • Multicast traffic distribution in a multi-pod network environment
    Patent number: 9930149
    Abstract: An example method for to multicast traffic distribution in a multi-pod network environment is provided and includes provisioning a block of multicast group addresses for broadcast, unknown unicast and multicast (BUM) traffic distribution between pods in the multi-pod network, calculating a hash corresponding to a bridge domain (BD) extending across a plurality of pods in the multi-pod network, the hash being identically calculated at each one of the plurality of pod, indexing with the hash into the block of multicast group addresses designated for inter-pod BUM traffic to derive a global multicast group identical for the broadcast domain across the plurality of pods, and associating a local multicast group at the translator with the derived global multicast group.
    Type: Grant
