Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, a non-transitory computer readable medium for handling the failure of a controller within a communications network is provided. One embodiment of the non-transitory computer readable medium comprises instructions that cause a secondary network device to identify one or more multicast streams received by a primary network device and detect that the primary network device has failed; and responsive to detecting that the primary network device has failed, cause the secondary network device to subscribe to the multicast streams.
