5.2.8 INTERNET GROUP MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL - IGMP
IGMP [INTERNET:4] is a protocol used between hosts and multicast
routers on a single physical network to establish hosts' membership
in particular multicast groups. Multicast routers use this
information, in conjunction with a multicast routing protocol, to
support IP multicast forwarding across the Internet.
A router SHOULD implement the multicast router part of IGMP.
