Abstract: MULTICAST IN OVERLAY NETWORK FOR A ROAMING HOST In an overlay network, a network device can receive a first notification message indicating that a host coupled to a second network device of the overlay network has requested to join a multicast group. The network device can generate a mapping between the host and the multicast group based on the first notification message. Upon detecting the host via a port, the network device can generate a second notification message based on the mapping prior to receiving a join request from the host. The network device can send the second notification message to a respective other network device of the overlay network. The network device can receive a set of multicast packets of the multicast group via a tunnel coupled to a source network device in response to the source network device receiving the second notification message and forward the set of multicast packets via the port.
