byteblowerll.byteblower.IGMPProtocol¶

class byteblowerll.byteblower.IGMPProtocol(*args, **kwargs)¶

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Protocol for IPv4 manages multicast group membership for a given IPv4 host.

This class support three IGMP Protocol versions:

IGMPv1: :rfc:1112
IGMPv2: :rfc:2236. IGMPv2 allows group membership termination to be quickly reported to the routing protocol, which is important for high-bandwidth multicast groups and/or subnets with highly volatile group membership.
IGMPv3: :rfc:3376. 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.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)¶: Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.
