  • Patent number: 10243754
    Abstract: Method and system for reducing multicast traffic loss including configuring, on a primary DR including a first configured DR priority, a DR parameter including a value and an attribute; sending to a secondary DR, after a PIM interface comes up, a PIM hello message including a default DR priority lower than a second configured priority of the secondary DR; sending to the secondary DR, after the primary DR reaches a system-up state, a PIM hello message including the default DR priority; performing DR functionality, by the primary DR, after reaching the system-up state; and sending to the secondary DR, after waiting a time period corresponding to the value of the DR parameter, a PIM hello message including the first configured DR priority, where the primary DR waits to send the last PIM hello message to the secondary DR after the time period based on the attribute of the DR parameter.

  • Publication number: 20180278517
    Abstract: In general, the invention relates to a method for programming a network element. The method includes detecting an addition of a first route in a routing information base (RIB) on the network element, adding, in response to detecting the addition, a first route network prefix associated with the first route to a network prefix trie (NPT), identifying, based on the adding, a first parent network prefix for the first route network prefix using the NPT, making a first determination that the first route network prefix and the first parent network prefix are reachable via a first common next hop connected to the network element, and waiving, based on the first determination, a creation of a forwarding information base (FIB) entry associated with the first route network prefix in a FIB on the network element.
