Abstract

Techniques for operating a networking switch in two broadcast networks are provided. In some embodiments, the switch may instantiate a first controller client and a second controller client in a control plane of the switch; register the first controller client with a first broadcast controller associated with a first broadcast network; and register the second controller client with a second broadcast controller associated with a second broadcast network. The switch may further receive a first multicast route through the first controller client; receive a second multicast route through the second controller client; and program at least one of the first multicast route and the second multicast route into a multicast routing information base.
