IGMP Querier
A router, or multicast-enabled switch, can periodically ask their hosts if they want
to receive multicast traffic. If there is more than one router/switch on the LAN

service requests on to any upstream-multicast switch/router to ensure that it will
continue to receive the multicast service.
