multicast router on a sub network, one router is elected as the ‘queried’. This
router then keeps track of the membership of the multicast groups that have
active members. The information received from IGMP is then used to determine if
multicast packets should be forwarded to a given subnetwork or not. The router
can check, using IGMP, to see if there is at least one member of a multicast group
on a given subnetwork. If there are no members on a subnetwork, packets will
not be forwarded to that subnetwork.
