Abstract

Provided is a method for multicast forwarding in a TRILL network. The method includes that: when receiving remote multicast data, a routing bridge forwards the multicast data according to capability information of terminals adhered to the routing bridge. An apparatus and a routing bridge for multicast forwarding in a TRILL network are also provided. The technical solutions of the present disclosure take the scenario that a smart terminal and an ordinary terminal together access a TRILL network into consideration, so that address learning is performed between smart terminals through the multicast data, thereby ensuring normal data transmission.
