Abstract
Group based multicasts may be provided. First, a request may be received. The request may comprise a receiver tag, a request source identifier, and a request multicast group identifier. Next, a source tag corresponding to the request source identifier may be obtained and then it may be determined that a group corresponding to the receiver tag is allowed to access content from a source corresponding to the obtained source tag. In response to determining that the group corresponding to the receiver tag is allowed to access content from the source corresponding to the obtained source tag, content may be received from the source at a multicast group corresponding to the request multicast group identifier. The content may then be forwarded to a receiver corresponding to the request.
