Abstract
Methods and systems for multicast group address translation are disclosed. A method includes receiving a request for data source content from a multicast group data source content requester and retrieving the data source content from the data source, where the data source content that is retrieved has associated destination addresses. Moreover, the method includes providing access to the data source content for translation of the destination addresses associated with the data source content, where the destination addresses fall within a first range of multicast group addresses. The method further includes receiving packets that have translated destination addresses that prior to translation fall within the first range of multicast addresses. The translated destination addresses fall within a second range of multicast group addresses. The packets are forwarded for forwarding to the multicast group data source content requester using the destination addresses that fall within the second range of multicast group addresses.
