Adjusting Query and Response Timers
The querier periodically sends a general query to discover which multicast groups are active. A group
must have at least one host to be active.
When a host receives a query, it does not respond immediately, but rather starts a delay timer. The delay
time is set to a random value between 0 and the maximum response time. The host sends a response
when the timer expires; in version 2, if another host responds before the timer expires, the timer is
nullified, and no response is sent.
The maximum response time is the amount of time that the querier waits for a response to a query
before taking further action. The querier advertises this value in the query (refer to the illustration in IGMP
Version 2). Lowering this value decreases leave latency but increases response burstiness because all host
membership reports must be sent before the maximum response time expires. Inversely, increasing this
value decreases burstiness at the expense of leave latency.
When the querier receives a leave message from a host, it sends a group-specific query to the subnet. If
no response is received, it sends another. The amount of time that the querier waits to receive a response
to the initial query before sending a second one is the last member query interval (LMQI). The switch
waits one LMQI after the second query before removing the group from the state table.
• Adjust the period between queries.
