Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for selecting the ingress node for a multicast distribution session are provided. One method may include receiving a request to join a multicast session, and checking a database to determine whether an ingress node for the multicast session has already been assigned or configured to handle a corresponding multicast distribution session by passing received data towards radio nodes within the multicast distribution session.
