  • IP multicast over routed ATM network using lane
    Patent number: 6483832
    Abstract: A method and a system for forwarding multicast data packets across a plurality of telecommunications subnets interconnected by routers in which a data packet is received within a subnet of the plurality of telecommunications subnets. When the data packet is a multicast data packet, a multicast IP address for the multicast data packet is determined. A multicast forwarding database is accessed for determining a LAN Emulation Client associated with the multicast IP address, and a Broadcast Unknown Server associated with the multicast IP address for the multicast data packet is determined. The multicast data packet is sent to the Broadcast Unknown Server associated with the multicast IP address for the multicast data packet through the LAN Emulation Client using a point-to-point connection.
