Abstract
A method for providing multicast services to mobile devices, comprising: providing, at a controller node, an interface representing a single network node to a multicast server node; receiving, at the controller node, link status messages from a first and a second network node; constructing, at the controller node, a multicast route at the controller node based on the received link status messages; receiving, at the controller node, a multicast data stream from the multicast server node; and sending the multicast data stream to at least two mobile devices via the constructed multicast route.
