  • Patent number: 7593402
    Abstract: A method for filtering multicast sources, so that when the multicast routing protocol is based on the Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) model, resource consumption of inquiry routers can be reduced and the multicast packet forwarding efficiency can be improved. In the present invention, the inquiry router determines whether it is the Any-Source Multicast (ASM) model or the SSM model that the multicast routing protocol running in the network is based on. If it is the ASM model, maintain the source filtering method in the related art. If it is the SSM model, cancel the source filtering process or only performing the source filtering process in the inclusive mode. In the situation that only the source filtering process in the inclusive mode is performed, the additional filtering mode switching function or static configuration by software guarantees that the inquiry router is only in the inclusive mode, thereby avoiding the mode switching.
