IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. An American professional society whose
standards for the computer and electronics industry often become national or international

IGMP
Internet Group Management Protocol. An Internet protocol, defined in RFC 2236, that enables
an Internet computer to report its multicast group membership to neighboring multicast
routers. Multicasting allows a computer on the Internet to send content to other computers
that have identified themselves as interested in receiving it.
IGMP snooping
A feature that prevents the flow of multicast stream packets within a virtual LAN (VLAN)
and forwards the multicast traffic through a path to only the clients that want to receive it. A
DWS-1008 switch uses IGMP snooping to monitor the Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) conversation between hosts and routers. When the switch detects an IGMP report
from a host for a given multicast group, it adds the host’s port number to the list for that group.
When it detects an IGMP host leaving a group, the switch removes the port number from the
group list.
