ABSTRACT:
A method, a device, and a system for processing a request to establish a multicast session among a plurality of communication nodes are provided. The device includes a multicast management application. The multicast management application includes instructions to receive a criterion for joining a first multicast session. The instructions further include identifying a first multicast session address and a second multicast session address using the criterion for joining the first multicast session. The first multicast session is identified using a first multicast session address. A second multicast session is identified using the second multicast session address. A responder device that is a member of the second multicast session is identified using the second multicast session address. A multicast session announcement is sent to the identified responder device. The multicast session announcement includes the first multicast session address, the second multicast session address, and the criterion for joining the first multicast session.
