affected computer.

Fast Leave
IGMP snooping Fast Leave processing allows the switch to remove an interface from the forwarding-table entry without first

group specified in the original leave message. Fast-leave processing ensures optimal bandwidth management for all hosts
on a switched network, even when multiple multicast groups are in use simultaneously.
