IGMP on the Web |
 The
standard for IP Multicasting on the Internet. It's used to establish
host memberships in particular multicast groups on a single network.
The particulars of the protocol allow a host to inform its local router,
using Host Membership Reports, that it wants to receive messages addressed
to a specific multicast group.www.nve.vt.edu/cias/Resources/glossary.htm Internet Group Management Protocol - just
knowing that this exists is all that is needed for this paper. It
is not discussed in detail. (Internet Group Management Protocol) snooping-as
implied by the name, is a feature that allows SmartDSLAM to "listen
in" on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers. GVRP
:Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) VLAN Registration
Protocol (GVRP)-With GVRP, SmartDSLAM can exchange VLAN configuration
information with other GVRP switches, prune unnecessary broadcast
and unknown unicast traffic, and dynamically create and manage VLANs
on switches connected through 802.1Q trunk ports. This protocol is used in multicasting. (Internet Group Management Protocol) A protocol
that hosts use to keep local routers informed of their membership
in multicast groups. When all hosts leave a group, the router no
longer forwards datagrams that arrive for the group. A network control protocol running on top of the
IP protocol. It is used by Internet hosts to maintain information
related to multicast. All machines that want to use the multicast
have to have the IGMP implemented. The Internet Group Management Protocol 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.
