Abstract
Example methods and apparatus to dynamically store network routes for a communication network are disclosed. A disclosed example method involves receiving data via a router having a first memory to store active routes and a second memory to store inactive routes. A destination address associated with the data is identified and in response to detecting that no destination address entry stored in the first memory matches the destination address associated with the data, a default route stored in the first memory is selected to forward the data using a multicast transport protocol.
