Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for performing replication of multicast control packets by a packet processor of a networking device, rather than a central processor of the networking device, thereby freeing the central processor to perform other tasks. For example, methods of performing replication of multicast control packets may include learning, by a networking device, two or more local routers coupled to ports of the networking device; configuring a packet processor of the networking device for hardware-based replication of multicast control packets based on the learned two or more local routers; receiving a multicast control packet by the networking device; and replicating, by the packet processor of the networking device, the multicast control packet.
