Systems and methods for prioritizing multicast streams in an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) network are provided. According to one implementation, a process, which may be executed by a router, is configured, in response to a reboot scenario, to query a plurality of hosts regarding membership in a plurality of IGMP multicast streams according to predefined priority levels. The process is further configured to receive membership reports from the plurality of hosts. Also, the process is configured to request a server to restart the IGMP multicast streams according to the predefined priority levels.

Prioritizing multicast streams in internet group management protocol (IGMP) networks

Systems and methods implemented by a network element in a G.8032 ring include steps of operating an Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) session with an adjacent network element; and detecting an optical bypass in the G.8032 ring based on the OAM session. The steps can include flushing a forwarding database of the network element based on the optical bypass. The steps can include detecting prior to the optical bypass, that a neighboring node includes a ring block; and subsequent to the optical bypass, installing a new channel block. The optical bypass enables faster protection switching and the present disclosure incorporates an optical bypass in G.8032.
