IGMP (Internet Group Membership Protocol) is a network protocol which lets devices on a
network join or leave a multicast group. An IGMP managed Multicast Stream refers to
streaming media (such as video or audio) to a group of devices on a network using IGMP to
manage the multicast.
IGMP is assigned highest priority as it controls multicast services such as IGMP managed
Multicast Stream which allows streamed traffic such as video or VoIP. Unicast, Multicast/
Broadcast require less priority than the traffic that manages them.
