IGMP packets enable multicast routers to keep track of the membership of multicast groups, on their respective
subnetworks. The following outlines what is communicated between a multicast router and a multicast group
member using IGMP.
A host sends an IGMP “report” to join a group
A host will never send a report when it wants to leave a group (for version 1).
A host will send a “leave” report when it wants to leave a group (for version 2).
Multicast routers send IGMP queries (to the all-hosts group address: 224.0.0.1) periodically to see whether any
group members exist on their subnetworks. If there is no response from a particular group, the router assumes that
there are no group members on the network.
The Time-to-Live (TTL) field of query messages is set to 1 so that the queries will not be forwarded to other
subnetworks.
IGMP version 2 introduces some enhancements such as a method to elect a multicast querier for each LAN, an
explicit leave message, and query messages that are specific to a given group.
The states a computer will go through to join or to leave a multicast group are shown below:
