A multicast non-stop forwarding (NSF) router architecture enhances high availability of a multicast router (400) in a computer network. The router architecture further preserves multicast data forwarding through a data plane (470) during NSF recovery of one or more failures in a control plane (410) of the router(400). Various multicast components of the router (400) cooperate to provide a checkpointing and recovery technique of the multicast NSF architecture that enables efficient restart and recovery of the control plane failures without loss of data connectivity. In addition, a technique prevents multiple multicast forwarders from forwarding multicast packets for a route over a link in a computer network during NSF recovery of one or more failures in a control plane (410) of a multicast router (400).

architecture de routage pour transmission non stop (NSF) favorisant une disponibilité élevée d'un routeur multi-diffusion dans un réseau informatique. Cette architecture permet par ailleurs de préserver la transmission de données sur un plan de données pendant la remise en état NSF suite à la suite d'une ou de plusieurs défaillances survenues dans le plan de commande du routeur. Divers composants de multi-diffusion coopèrent à la mise en oeuvre d'une technique de contrôle et de remise en état de l'architecture NSF de multi-diffusion rendant possible le redémarrage et la réparation des défaillances du plan de commande sans perte de connectivité des données. De plus, une technique empêche que des multi-diffuseurs mutliples ne transmettent des paquets de multi-diffusion via une liaison du réseau informatique pendant la réparation d'une ou de plusieurs défaillances survenues dans un plan de commande d'un routeur multi-diffusion.
