3-2-7 IGMP Settings
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a communications
protocol used to manage the membership of Internet Protocol multicast
groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts and adjacent multicast routers to
establish multicast group memberships. It is an integral part of the IP
multicast specification, like ICMP for unicast connections. IGMP can be
used for online video and gaming, and allows more efficient use of
resources when supporting these uses.
