610 | Multicast Listener Discovery

Last Member Query Interval
The Querier sends a Multicast-Address-Specific Query upon receiving a Done message to ascertain 
whether there are any remain receivers for a group. The Last Listener Query Interval is the Maximum 
Response Delay for a Multicast-Address-Specific Query, and also the amount of time between 
Multicast-Address-Specific Query retransmissions. Lowering the Last Listener Query Interval reduces the 
time to detect that there are no remaining receivers for a group, and so can reduce the amount of 
unnecessarily forwarded traffic.
Explicit Tracking
If the Querier does not receive a response to a Multicast-Address-Specific Query, it sends another. Then, 
after no response, it removes the group entry from the group membership table. You can configure the 
system to remove specified groups immediately after receiving a Leave message to reduce leave latency.
Configure a Static Group
A group is entered into the group membership table if it has at least one member. Host memberships 
expire. When all memberships for a group expire, the group is removed from the group membership table. 
Hosts keep their memberships active by responding to queries. You can configure a group entry to never be 
removed regardless of membership by creating a static entry in the table.
