flooding through IGMP Snooping, multicast traffic is forwarded to ports associated to multicast 
devices only. The switch listens to the IGMP messages between the multicast router and hosts, 
and  maintains multicast  group  forwarding  table  based  on  the  listening  result,  and  can  then 
decide to forward multicast packets according to the forwarding table. 
Switch provides IGMP Snooping and is able to send a query from the switch so that the user 
can use switch in IP multicast.
