US Patent 11405307 Information transfer method and device

Disclosed in the present application are an information transfer method and device. When a user side node sends a traffic request through a MLD, IGMP or PIM protocol or sends prefix information through routing protocols such as Babel, BGP, OSPF, ISIS and the like, a forwarding side node can clearly know by a manner of adding a user side mark whether the user side node is connected to the forwarding node. When performing forwarding according to a BIER rule, the forwarding side node can identify the user side node and encapsulate a packet to have a correct destination address to be sent, so as to ensure that the user side node can correctly receive a traffic message.
