Joining and Filtering Groups and Sources

The following illustration shows how multicast routers maintain the group and source information from
unsolicited reports.
1. The first unsolicited report from the host indicates that it wants to receive traffic for group 224.1.1.1.
2. The host's second report indicates that it is only interested in traffic from group 224.1.1.1, source
10.11.1.1. Include messages prevent traffic from all other sources in the group from reaching the
subnet. Before recording this request, the querier sends a group-and-source query to verify that there
are no hosts interested in any other sources. The multicast router must satisfy all hosts if they have
conflicting requests. For example, if another host on the subnet is interested in traffic from 10.11.1.3,
then the router cannot record the include request. There are no other interested hosts, so the request is
recorded. At this point, the multicast routing protocol prunes the tree to all but the specified sources.
3. The host's third message indicates that it is only interested in traffic from sources 10.11.1.1 and
10.11.1.2. Since this request again prevents all other sources from reaching the subnet, the router sends
another group-and-source query so that it can satisfy all other hosts. There are no other interested hosts
so the request is recorded.
