IGMP
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is a Layer 3 protocol that IPv4 network hosts can use to announce to a router that they want to receive Multicast traffic from a specific group.
IGMP currently has three versions whose primary characteristics are:
- IGMPv1
- Hosts send membership reports announcing to routers that they want to receive multicast traffic.
- Routers send membership queries to "ask" if hosts are still interested in receiving traffic.
- Expiry timers are used to remove hosts from multicast groups.
- IGMPv2
- Enhanced version of IGMP
- Includes mechanisms for hosts to leave a multicast group.
- IGMPv3
- Supports source filtering
