Chapter 13. IGMP Snooping
13.1 Brief Introduction to IGMP Snooping
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is a part of IP protocol which is used to
support and manage the IP multicast between host and multicast router. IP multicast allows
transferring IP data to a host collection formed by multicast group. The relationship of
multicast group member is dynamic and host can dynamically add or exit this group to reduce
network load to the minimum to realize the effective data transmission in network.
IGMP Snooping is used to monitor IGMP packet between host and routers. It can
dynamically create, maintain, and delete multicast address table according to the adding and
leaving of the group members. At that time, multicast frame can transfer packet according to
his own multicast address table.
