This is the interval between general queries sent by the modem. By varying the query
interval, a modem administrator may tune the number of IGMP messages on the subnet;
note that larger numbers cause the IGMP queries to be sent less often.
Enter a value, in seconds, from 1 to 60 (default = 1 second).
This is the maximum response time inserted into the periodic general queries. By varying
the Response Interval, a modem administrator may tune the "burstiness" of
IGMP messages on the subnet; note that larger values make the traffic less "bursty" as
host responses are spread out over a large interval.
Enter a value, in seconds, from 1 to 25 (default = 10 seconds).
Note: The number of seconds assigned to the Response Interval must be less than what
is assigned to the Query Interval.
This is the maximum response time inserted into group-specific queries that are set in
response to Leave Group messages, and is also amount of time between group-specific
query messages. This value may be tuned to modify the "leave latency" of the network; a
reduced value results in reduced time to detect the loss of the last member of a group.
Enter a value, in seconds, from 1 to 25 (default = 1 second).
The Robustness Variable allows tuning for the expected packet loss on a subnet. If a
subnet is expected to be lossy, the Robustness Variable may be increased. IGMP is
robust to (Robustness Variable-1) packet losses.
Enter a value from 2 to 10 (the default value is 2). Note that the Robustness Variable
MUST NOT be 0, and SHOULD NOT be 1.
Version – Enter 1 for IGMPv1 or 2 for IGMPv2.
