When the switch is used in network applications where video services such as IPTV, video streaming, and
gaming are deployed, the video traffic would normally be flooded to all connected ports because such traffic
packets usually have multicast Ethernet addresses. IGMP snooping can be enabled to create a multicast
group to direct that traffic only to those users that require it.
