When a local router receives a Leave Group message from a multicast client located at its subnet, the router will send Group-specific Membership Query messages twice, one after the other addressed to that particular multicast group instead of All systems link-local multicast address Group-specific multicast query is a better way, because the query in addressed only to a particular group, asking if any members are left in a group, instead of asking everyone in the subnet.
If there is no Membership Report message received for that Group-specific Membership Query message from the subnet, the router can make sure that no more multicast clients interested in traffic addressed to that group in that subnet. The router can then stop forwarding multicast traffic belongs to that multicast group to that subnet.
In IGMPv1 , if a multicast client is no longer interested in receiving multicast traffic from a particular multicast group , it does not reply to the Membership Query MQ messages sent from the local multicast router. Local multicast routers may not know instantly that the multicast client had already left the multicast group , because Membership Query MQ messages are sent from the router to multicast clients periodically.
Multicast clients use Leave Group message to inform the local multicast router instantly that they are no longer interested in receiving multicast traffic from a particular multicast group. IGMPv3 provides support for source filtering. For example, a routing device can specify particular routing devices from which it accepts or rejects traffic. With IGMPv3, a multicast routing device can learn which sources are of interest to neighboring routing devices. Exclusion mode works the opposite of an inclusion list.
It allows any source but the ones listed to send to the SSM group. IGMPv3 interoperates with versions 1 and 2 of the protocol. IGMPv3 supports the following membership-report record types: mode is allowed, allow new sources, and block old sources.
Help us improve your experience. Multicast aware switches are slowly making their way into the network cores for businesses and universities that have heavy traffic to move through their networks.
Multicast filtering is achieved by dynamic group control management. By default, all Multicast traffic should be blocked until requested by a Multicast group member. Default behavior depends on switch manufacturer. The responsibility of the Querier is to send out IGMP group membership queries on a timed interval, to retrieve IGMP membership reports from active members, and to allow updating of the group membership tables.
IGMP Snooping generates no additional network traffic, which significantly reduces the Multicast traffic passing through your switch. If this is the case, you may wish to isolate the streaming nodes within the network so that the streams may be viewed without crossing the normal network traffic along its path.
Otherwise, for a general performance improvement, you may consider upgrading your network core to a switch that is Multicast aware. Lost your password? Check your Email for instructions to reset your password.
