The TCP/IP protocol that permits Internet hosts to take part in IP multicasting -an efficient means of broadcasting messages to groups of computers.
The standard for IP Multicasting on the Internet. It's used to establish host memberships in particular multicast groups on a single network. The particulars of the protocol allow a host to inform its local router, using Host Membership Reports, that it wants to receive messages addressed to a specific multicast group.
Internet Group Management Protocol. A protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite that is responsible for the management of IP multicast group membership.
Internet Group Management Protocol This protocol is used to automatically set up multicast groups.

Internet Group Management Protocol. A protocol used to form and dissolve groups on the MBONE.
IGMP is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. Refer to RFC 1112 and RFC 2236 for information on IGMP versions 1 and 2 respectively.
Internet Group Management Protocol. IGMP is used by multicast routers to learn the existence of host group members on their directly attached subnets. See RFC 1112.
(Internet Group Management Protocol) A protocol used to update routers' information about multicast groups.
An Internet protocol that provides a way for an Internet computer to report its multicast group membership to adjacent routers. Multicasting allows one computer on the Internet to send content to multiple other computers that have identified themselves as interested in receiving the originating computer's content.
Internet Group Multicast Protocol
Internet Group Management Protocol. Governs the management of multicast groups in a TCP/IP network. Used by IP hosts to report their multicast group memberships to an adjacent multicast router.
Internet Group Management Protocol. Rules and procedures, existing as software in a networks operational memory, used by IP devices to report multicast group membership to adjacent multicast routers - automatically identifying the devices they are routing data between.
Internet Group Management Protocol. A network control protocol running on top of the IP protocol. It is used by Internet hosts to maintain information related to multicast. All machines that want to use the multicast have to have the IGMP implemented. Next
(Internet Group Management Protocol). A protocol used by Internet hosts to report their multicast group memberships to any immediately neighboring multicast routers. It is required to be implemented by all hosts wishing to receive IP multicasts. IGMP messages are encapsulated in IP datagrams. Multicast protocols are important when you are trying to reduce or limit broadcast traffic on network. Multicast protocols also come into play if someone is trying to run broadcast video training over the network to specific students distributed across a multi-segment network. Instead of the video stream being broadcast to everyone, the video stream is only addressed to particular PCs. Also see Broadcast Datagram Internet IP Multicast Network
Internet Group Management Protocol. See IGMP
Internet Group Management Protocol. A network-layer protocol for managing multicast groups on the Internet.
Internet Group Management Protocol Standard for IP multicasting in the Internet. It is used to establish host memberships in particular multicast groups on a single network.91
Internet Group Management Protocol. Protocol that allows an host to join to a multicast group and quit it.
(Internet Group Management Protocol) A protocol that hosts use to keep local routers informed of their membership in multicast groups. When all hosts leave a group, the router no longer forwards datagrams that arrive for the group.
Internet Group Management Protocol. Used by IP hosts to report their multicast group memberships to an adjacent multicast router. See also multicast router.
Internet Group Management Protocol. This protocol is used in multicasting.
Internet Group Management Protocol. A protocol in the IP suite that allows a host to register its local network with the local router to receive any datagrams sent to that router and targeted to a group with a specific IP multicast address. Bay Networks routers support IGMP version 2.
Internet Group Management Protocol. Used with multicast protocols to determine whether group members are present.
A protocol that allows Internet hosts to participate in multicasting. It describes the basics of multicasting IP traffic, including the format of multicast IP addresses, multicast Ethernet encapsulation, and the concept of a host group (that is, a set of hosts interested in traffic for a particular multicast address).
