Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for the distribution of bulk data using multicast routing are provided. A multicast advertisement is sent to potential receivers of the bulk distribution. The advertisement may include a list of intended receivers and the 'multicast group that the distribution will be multicast on. In response to the advertisement, intended receivers may listen on the multicast group address for the bulk data. Receivers that are not targets for the distribution do not join the multicast group, and consequently, the delivery of data by routers to subnets that have no target receivers may thus be obviated.
