IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping is the process of listening to Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP) network traffic. The feature allows a network switch to listen
in on the IGMP conversation between hosts and routers. By listening to these
conversations the switch maintains a map of which links need which IP
multicast streams.
