Forum Topic - Mulitcast IGMP Version: (2 Items)
   
Mulitcast IGMP Version  
Looks like TCP5.0 supports V2 of IGMP standard (RFC2366). Customer 
switch supports V3 (RFC 3376).
Think I will have to do hack to send V3 out myself in addition to V2. 
Anyone had same issue.
Also found strange behavior with TCP 5.0 multicast.
Have 3 multicast streams coming into program (239.192.69.45/5080, 
239.193.69.45/5080,239.194.69.45/5060).
Strange behavior in that TCP stack seems to ignore multicast address for 
the first 2 streams and just accepts any multcast address as long as 
port is good. So I am getting
data on second socket, even if only first multicast is active. Same 
behavior if second multicast is active, last multicast works 
fine....still investigating and keeping fingers crossed that it is my bad !!

Re: Mulitcast IGMP Version  
Just an FYI...Have the V3 of IGMP wrking. DId a SOCK_RAW to get access to the IGMP protocol. I also opened a couple 
multicast addresses 224.0.0.1 and 224.0.0.22 to ensure that any IGMP messages broadcast on these known addresses are 
read. Found I really only needed to support 0x11 message (MEMBERSHIP REPORT) and used it to talk to the switches to 
ensure that they enabled/disabled multicast for the sources specified.
