Abstract
A method for switching multicast traffic includes: entering, by a second router, a waiting state after receiving a packet indicative of recovery of a first router; and deleting, by the second router, the egress interface of MFIB entries on the second router after receiving a data packet or an Assert packet from the first router. A router and a system for switching multicast traffic are also provided herein.
