Gelukkig staat de disclamer al onder je post.
Als je router het niet doet wie houdt dan bij wat er wel of niet in een mcast group zit? Het is geen broadcast.
Cisco:
IGMP is used between hosts on a LAN and the routers on that LAN to track the multicast groups of which hosts are members.
IGMP
To start implementing IP multicast routing in your campus network, you must first define who receives the multicast. IGMP provides a means to automatically control and limit the flow of multicast traffic throughout your network with the use of special multicast queriers and hosts.
•A querier is a network device, such as a router, that sends query messages to discover which network devices are members of a given multicast group.
•A host is a receiver, including routers, that sends report messages (in response to query messages) to inform the querier of a host membership.
A set of queriers and hosts that receive multicast data streams from the same source is called a multicast group. Queries and hosts use IGMP messages to join and leave multicast groups.
IP multicast traffic uses group addresses, which are Class D IP addresses. The high-order four bits of a Class D address are 1110. Therefore, host group addresses can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
Multicast addresses in the range 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255 are reserved for use by routing protocols and other network control traffic. The address 224.0.0.0 is guaranteed not to be assigned to any group.
IGMP packets are transmitted using IP multicast group addresses as follows:
•IGMP general queries are destined to the address 224.0.0.1 (all systems on a subnet).
•IGMP group-specific queries are destined to the group IP address for which the router is querying.
•IGMP group membership reports are destined to the group IP address for which the router is reporting.
•IGMP Version 2 (IGMPv2) Leave messages are destined to the address 224.0.0.2 (all routers on a subnet).
–Note that in some old host IP stacks, Leave messages might be destined to the group IP address rather than to the all-routers address.
