IGMP: Internet Group Management Protocol is used on IP networks to establish multicast
group memberships. It operates above the network layer of OSI. One of the most important
features related to this protocol is IGMP snooping, which is supported by EH7510 and
greatly strengthens network functionality.
IGMP Snooping:
It is the process of “listening” to IGMP network traffic. By listening to
conversations between different devices, it maintains a map of which links need which IP
multicast streams. This means multicasts may be filtered from the links which do not need
them, and IGMP snooping allows a switch to only forward multicast traffic to the links that
have requested it.
