Abstract

A device may provide information associated with initiating a segmented tunnel to be used to transfer multicast traffic via a network covering a plurality of areas. The device may receive acknowledgement information associated with the segmented tunnel. The acknowledgement information may include information that identifies a number of egress devices, associated with at least one area of the plurality of areas, that are to receive the multicast traffic. The device may determine, based on the acknowledgement information, a total number of egress devices that are to receive the multicast traffic. The device may selectively provide the multicast traffic via the segmented tunnel based on the total number of egress devices that are to receive the multicast traffic.
