received). When the timer value comes down to 0, the host sends an IGMP report to the
corresponding multicast group.
An appropriate setting of the maximum response time for IGMP queries allows hosts to
respond to queries quickly and avoids bursts of IGMP traffic on the network caused by
reports simultaneously sent by a large number of hosts when the corresponding timers
expire simultaneously.
z
For IGMP general queries, you can configure the maximum response time to fill
their Max Response time field.
z
For IGMP group-specific queries, you can configure the IGMP last-member query
interval to fill their Max Response time field. Namely, for IGMP group-specific
queries, the maximum response time equals to the IGMP last-member query
interval.
