IGMP
Internet Group Management Protocol
IGMP is an Internet
that enables an Internet computer to inform neighbouring
routers that it is a member of a multicast group. With multicasting, a computer can send
content on the Internet to several other computers that have registered an interest in
the first computer's content. Multicasting can, for example, be used for multimedia pro-
grams for media streaming to recipients that have set up multicast group membership.
Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode is a way of operating wireless local networks (
) in which an
handles the data traffic. Network components cannot establish a direct
connection with each other as is the case in
