Abstract
A request to receive multicast data, associated with a multicast group, may be transmitted. The request may be transmitted via a tunnel. Group keys may be received in response to the request. The group keys may be based on the multicast group. An encapsulated packet may be received via another tunnel. The encapsulated packet may be processed, using the group keys, to obtain a multicast packet associated with the multicast data. The multicast packet may be forwarded to at least one multicast recipient.
