Latest Patents
Mellacheruva's latest patents include a multicast system for forwarding desired multicast packets in a computer network. This invention describes a method and apparatus for a downstream router to inform an upstream router about the need to forward multicast packets of a specified group. The process begins with the downstream router transmitting a HELLO packet to the upstream router, indicating its role as a multicast router. When a request for multicast packets is received from an end station, the downstream router sends a JOIN packet to the upstream router, requesting the forwarding of the desired multicast packets.
Another significant patent involves a method for a router to inform a layerswitch about the forwarding of multicast packets. The router transmits an RGMP HELLO packet to the layerswitch, indicating its status as a multicast router. Upon receiving an IGMP packet from an end station, the router sends an RGMP JOIN packet to the layerswitch, requesting the forwarding of multicast group packets. The layerswitch then builds a forwarding table to manage the multicast group packets effectively.
