Query solicitation (rapid recovery from topology changes) > Why convergence takes so long without query solicitation

Explanation from the perspective of switch 1, the querier

When link

is up

When the link is connected (all ports are up), the Querier has an entry for port 1, so it sends
the group 224.12.13.14 out port 1. The output of the command show igmpsnooping
shows this entry.

When link

goes down

When we disconnect port 1 on the Snooper, the port disappears. The Querier is still
receiving the multicast stream from the server, so the group entry remains.
