ABSTRACT:
A Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) speaker can associate a “key” with a set of one or more source address/group address pairs within a Source Active (SA) message and send the SA message to a MSDP peer. Initially, the MSDP speaker sends both the key and the source address/group address pairs associated with that key. Subsequently, the MSDP speaker can simply resend the key, without also sending all of the associated source address/group address pairs, in order to refresh the SA information at the peer. Additionally, several keys can be sent in a single message.
