As mentioned above, "Membership Report (MR)" type of IGMP message is used by multicast clients to join a multicast group. There are three versions of IGMP IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3.

IPv6 has different set of protocols for multicast. IGMP membership queries are sent from multicast routers to discover the presence of group members on a subnet. IGMP Membership Report (MR) messages are also sent in response to IGMP membership queries sent by routers. Computers send IGMP Membership Report (MR) messages when they first join a multicast group.

For example if a computer wants to receive an online TV video stream, it sends an IGMP message to the local multicast router that it is interested in receiving multicast packets sent to the related multicast group. If computers on a LAN are interested to receive multicast traffic (Online TV, Video conferencing, Operating System deployment using images etc.) from a multicast group, computers use IGMP protocol to inform the multicast router about multicast group membership. Note that all the traffic to the multicast router must pass via network switch. LAN portion of the above image is copied below. PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) is a multicast routing protocol that advertises multicast sources and receivers in a routed layer 3 network.įor the purpose of this lesson (learning how IPv4 multicast works on LAN), let us concentrate on the LAN portion of the above image. In other words, IGMP is used by a computer in a Local Area Network (LAN) to inform the local multicast router that it is interested in receiving multicast traffic from a specific multicast group. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is an integral protocol of TCP/IP protocol suite which allows a computer to advertise its multicast group membership in Local Area Network (LAN), especially to local multicast routers. But, short explanations about IGMP and PIM are in below paragraphs. Let us keep aside IGMP and PIM for deep learning in future lessons. There are two protocols mainly involved in IPv4 multicasting IGMP and PIM.
