Abstract
Systems and methods of multicast configuration are provided. A particular method includes detecting a failure in the data network at a first node of a data network. The method also includes determining an alternate route from the first node to a data source of the data network. The alternate route includes a second node as an upstream node. The method further includes determining whether the alternate route would create a loop in the data network. The method includes setting a state of the first node to a waiting-to-join the second node state when the alternate route would create a loop.
