Abstract
A method is performed at a router on a multicast configured to forward a multicast flow. The method comprises: in response to receiving, from a controller connected to the multicast path or the multicast path, an enable command to enable statistics tracing for the multicast flow, determining whether the router has sufficient resources to perform statistics tracing; and when the router has the sufficient resources: responsive to the enable command, enabling statistics tracing to collect statistics for the multicast flow; generating a first request to include the enable command and the statistics; and forwarding the first request towards the controller.
