  • Automatic alignment of roles of routers in networks
    Patent number: 10666558
    Abstract: In example implementations, a method is provided. The method detects, by a processor, an assignment of a master router role for a virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP), a protocol independent multicast (PIM) designated router (DR) role for a PIM protocol, and a querier router role for an internet group management protocol (IGMP) to different routers in a network. A communication procedure is initiated to identify which routers of the routers are assigned to the master router role, the DR role and the querier router role. The master router role, the DR role and the querier router role are then automatically aligned to a single router of the routers via an ordered communication exchange.
