Abstract
A network device receives multicast data originating from a source device, wherein the network device is in communication with at least one client device. The system identifies traffic patterns associated with the multicast data and classifies the multicast data into categories based on the traffic patterns. The network device stores an ordered list of multicast groups previously joined by the client device. Responsive to determining that the client device requests to join a first multicast group, the network device sends a first join request for the client device to join a highest-ranking multicast group in the ordered list. Responsive to determining that the client device requests to leave a current multicast group and to join a new multicast group, the network device selects a second multicast group from the ordered list and sends a second join request for the client device to join the second multicast group.
