IGMP Commands

IGMPv2 introduced a Leave Group message, which is sent by a host when it

leaves a multicast group for which it was the last host to send an IGMP

Report message. Receipt of this message causes the Querier possibly to

reduce the remaining lifetime of its state for the group, and to send a group-

specific IGMP Query message to the multicast group.The Leave Group

message is not used with IGMPv3, since the source address filtering

mechanism provides the same functionality.
IGMPv3 also allows hosts to specify the list of hosts from which they want to

receive traffic. Traffic from other hosts is blocked inside the network. It also

allows hosts to block packets for all sources sending unwanted traffic.

IGMPv3 adds the capability for a multicast router to learn which sources are

of interest to neighboring systems for packets sent to any particular multicast

address. This information gathered by IGMP is provided to the multicast

routing protocol (that is, DVMRP, PIM-DM, and PIM-SM) that is currently

active on the router in order to ensure multicast packets are delivered to all

networks where there are interested receivers.
