Abstract
A multicast traffic disruption prevention system includes a first router having a first priority and operating as a designated router such that a second router transmits data traffic to the first router device for forwarding to a destination. A third router coupled to the second router also has the first priority and, in response to a link to the destination device becoming available, transmits an active designated router discovery communication to the first router that identifies the first priority of the third router. In response to receiving an active designated router confirmation communication from the first router that identifies that the first router also has the first priority and that the first router is configured to operate as the designated router, the third router operates as a non-designated router such that the second router continues to transmit data traffic to the first router for forwarding to the destination device.
