Abstract
This application describes a multicast packet sending method, apparatus, and system. The method includes a first multicast root node and a second multicast root node belonging to a same VRRP group. The first multicast root node receives a first multicast packet from a specified multicast source, and the second multicast root node receives a second multicast packet from the same specified multicast source, where the first multicast packet and the second multicast packet include same multicast data. The first multicast root node sends the first multicast packet to a first node based on the first multicast root node being a master root node. The second multicast root node discards the second multicast packet based on the second multicast root node being a backup root node. The method reduces waste of a network bandwidth resource.
