Adjusting Query and Response Timers
The querier periodically sends a general query to discover which multicast groups are active. A group must have at least one
host to be active.
When a host receives a query, it does not respond immediately, but rather starts a delay timer. The delay time is set to a random
value between 0 and the maximum response time. The host sends a response when the timer expires; in version 2, if another
host responds before the timer expires, the timer is nullified, and no response is sent.
The maximum response time is the amount of time that the querier waits for a response to a query before taking further action.
The querier advertises this value in the query (refer to the illustration in IGMP Version 2). Lowering this value decreases leave
latency but increases response burstiness because all host membership reports must be sent before the maximum response time
expires. Inversely, increasing this value decreases burstiness at the expense of leave latency.
