Enhancements in query and report capabilities
Query message carrying the source addresses
IGMPv3 is compatible with IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 and supports general queries and group-specific
queries. It also introduces group-and-source-specific queries.
{ A general query does not carry a group address or a source address.
{ A group-specific query carries a group address, but no source address.
{ A group-and-source-specific query carries a group address and one or more source addresses.
Reports containing multiple group records
Unlike an IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 report message, an IGMPv3 report message is destined to
224.0.0.22 and contains one or more group records. Each group record contains a multicast
group address and a multicast source address list.
Group records include the following categories:
{ IS_IN—The source filtering mode is Include. The report sender requests the multicast data from
only the sources defined in the specified multicast source list.
{ IS_EX—The source filtering mode is Exclude. The report sender requests the multicast data from
any sources except those defined in the specified multicast source list.
{ TO_IN—The filtering mode has changed from Exclude to Include.
{ TO_EX—The filtering mode has changed from Include to Exclude.
{ ALLOW—The Source Address fields in this group record contain a list of the additional sources
from which the system wants to obtain data for packets sent to the specified multicast address.
If the change was to an Include source list, these sources are the addresses that were added to
the list. If the change was to an Exclude source list, these sources are the addresses that were
deleted from the list.
{ BLOCK—The Source Address fields in this group record contain a list of the sources from which
the system no longer wants to obtain data for packets sent to the specified multicast address. If
the change was to an Include source list, these sources are the addresses that were deleted
from the list. If the change was to an Exclude source list, these sources are the addresses that
were added to the list.
