BSCI v IGMPv2 RFC 2236 Group-specific query –Router sends group-specific query to make sure that there are no members present before ceasing to forward data for the group for that subnet. Leave group message –Host sends leave message if it leaves the group and is the last member (reduces leave latency in comparison to v1).

BSCI v Layer 2 Multicast Frame Switching Problem: Layer 2 flooding of multicast frames Typical Layer 2 switches treat multicast traffic as unknown or broadcast and must flood the frame to every port (in VLAN). Static entries may sometimes be set to specify which ports must receive which groups of multicast traffic. Dynamic configuration of these entries may reduce administration.

12 © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. BSCI v Layer 2 Multicast Frame Switching CGMP Solution 1: CGMP Runs on switches and routers. CGMP packets sent by routers to switches at the CGMP multicast MAC address –0100.0cdd.dddd CGMP packet contains: –Type field: join or leave – MAC address of the IGMP client – Multicast MAC address of the group Switch uses CGMP packet information to add or remove an entry for a particular multicast MAC address.

IGMP packets are intercepted by the CPU or by special hardware ASICs. The switch must examine contents of IGMP messages to determine which ports want what traffic: –IGMP membership reports –IGMP leave messages Effect on switch: –Must process all Layer 2 multicast packets –Administration load increased with multicast traffic load –Requires special hardware to maintain throughput

If controls such as CGMP and IGMP snooping are not added at the Ethernet switching level, all multicast frames are flooded. CGMP is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to implement multicast efficiently. IGMP snooping is a standard protocol that has a function similar to CGMP.
