IGMP/MLD

On the Functions/ Advanced / IGMP/MLD page, you can allow the router to use IGMP and
MLD and specify needed settings.
IGMP and MLD are used for managing multicast traffic (transferring data to a group of
destinations) in IPv4 and IPv6 networks correspondingly. These protocols allow using network
resources for some applications, e.g., for streaming video, more efficiently.
The following elements are available on the page:
