IGMP/MLD
On the Functions/ Advanced / IGMP/MLD page, you can allow the router to use IGMP and
MLD and specify needed settings.
IGMP and MLD are used for managing multicast traffic (transferring data to a group of
destinations) in IPv4 and IPv6 networks correspondingly. These protocols allow using network
resources for some applications, e.g., for streaming video, more efficiently.
