Multicast lightpaths

A multicast session requires a "point-to-multipoint" connection from a source node to multiple destination nodes. The source node is known as the root. The destination nodes are known as leaves. In the modern era, it is important to protect multicast connections in an optical mesh network. Recently, multicast applications have gained popularity as they are important to protecting critical sessions against failures such as fiber cuts, hardware faults, and natural disasters.
