Question related to IGMP(Internet Group Management Protocol), a communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on IP networks to establish multicast group memberships.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on IP networks to establish multicast group memberships.
IGMP is an integral part of the IP multicast specification. It is analogous to ICMP for unicast connections. IGMP can be used for online streaming video and gaming, and allows more efficient use of resources when supporting these types of applications.
