Multicast Routing - Flooding<br />

• maintaining a list of recently seen packets (last 2 minutes), if it has<br />

been seen be<strong>for</strong>e, then delete it, otherwise copy to a cache/database<br />

and send a copy on all (except the incoming) interface.<br />

✘Disadvantages:<br />

◆ Maintaining a list of “last-seen” packets. This list can be fairly long in high speed networks<br />

◆ The “last-seen” lists guarantee that a router will not <strong>for</strong>ward the same packet twice, but it certainly does not<br />

guarantee that the router will receive a packet only once.<br />

✔ Advantages<br />

◆ Robustness<br />

◆ It does not depend on any routing tables.<br />
