that a host has left the group. In IGMP Version 2, when a host replying to the last
membership query message leaves a multicast group, it should send a leave group
message to the multicast router.
III. Group-specific query
In IGMP Version 1, the query message of multicast router aims at all the multicast
groups in the network segment. This query is called general query.
IGMP Version 2 adds group-specific query, where the IP address of a multicast group is
taken as the destination IP address and the group address domain of the query
message, to prevent the member hosts of other groups from replying to this message.
IV. Maximum response time
The Max Response Time is added in IGMP Version 2. It is used to dynamically adjust
the allowed maximum time for a host to reply to the membership query message.
