ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for PPPoE multicast is described. A computer implemented method comprises determining a PPPoE client to be multicast capable, determining a layer 2 multicast channel from a layer 3 multicast channel, and transmitting multicast traffic for the layer 2 multicast channel as PPPoE multicast traffic in a PPPoE multicast session to the PPPoE client.
