In order to reduce redundant packets due to the TS-MCAST algorithm and effectively utilize link bandwidth, a multicast algorithm based on OBS networks is proposed, called least redundant packets multicast tree sharing (LRP-MCAST-TS) algorithm. In the implementation process of this algorithm, the tree partition rule is introduced. The multicast trees are firstly partitioned to forest and then classified into multicast sharing class(MSC)by overlap degree. Finally, through theoretical analysis, it is verified the validity of LRP-MCAST-TS algorithm and shows that it could reduce the number of redundant packets.
