Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to synchronizing multicast route entries in a system. One embodiment includes a system with a first module that synchronizes a group membership and sets a router processing flag based on an interface where a packet is received. A second module receives the router processing flag and information based on the synchronized group membership from the first module and creates multicast route entries based on processing the information and the router processing flag even on a non-designated router (DR) interface.
