How IGMP Operates
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of
the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. IP manages multicast traffic by using
switches, multicast routers, and hosts that support IGMP. (In Hewlett-Pack-
ard’s implementation of IGMP, a multicast router is not necessary as long as
a switch is configured to support IGMP with the
querier feature enabled.) A set
of hosts, routers, and/or switches that send or receive multicast data streams
