In networks where multimedia applications generate multicast traffic, Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP) snooping can greatly reduce

unnecessary bandwidth usage by limiting traffic forwarding that is otherwise broadcast to the whole network. Enabling IGMP snooping will allow

individual ports to detect IGMP snooping queries, report packets, and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch.
