RFC 3376: Internet Group Management Protocol, Version 3
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 9776.
Current version: RFC 9776 — Internet Group Management Protocol, Version 3
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This document specifies Version 3 of the Internet Group Management Protocol, IGMPv3. IGMP is the protocol used by IPv4 systems to report their IP multicast group memberships to neighboring multicast routers. Version 3 of IGMP adds support for 'source filtering', that is, the ability for a system to report interest in receiving packets *only* from specific source addresses, or from *all but* specific source addresses, sent to a particular multicast address. That information may be used by multicast routing protocols to avoid delivering multicast packets from specific sources to networks where there are no interested receivers. This document obsoletes RFC 2236.
