Abstract
In one illustrative example, a multicast traceroute facility for a plurality of interconnected router nodes which are configured to communicate IP multicast traffic amongst hosts is described. The multicast traceroute facility may be for use in processing a multicast traceroute batch query packet which indicates a batch of multicast traceroute queries of a batch query, for identifying a plurality of traced paths for a batch of IP multicast traffic flows. Each identified traced path may be associated with one or more links, each of which has a link metric that satisfies a requested link metric (e.g. a link bandwidth). Resources for satisfying the requested link metric may be reserved for a predetermined or specified time period. The batch of IP multicast traffic flows may be established via at least some of the interconnected router nodes according to the plurality of traced paths identified from the query packet processing.
