9850.0. "IGMP Support - ITT Question, help needed" by RDGENG::WILLIAMS_A () Fri May 16 1997 07:40

    A question in an ITT asks (in the context of UNIX on a server):
    
    'What is the level of IGMP support of the (proposed) systems ? Are
    there any limits on the number of multicast groups supported ?'
    
    As far as I can tell (reading SPDs etc) we provide some support, but a
    fuller reply would be welcome. 
    
    many thanks,

9850.1DUNIX V4.0+--->IGMPv2SMURF::AJAYFri May 16 1997 16:179
    DUNIX releases prior to V4.0 supported IGMP V1 (RFC 1112 Appendix-I).
    Starting from V4.0, we provide support fro IGMPv2 currently RFC still
    in a draft mode replacing Appendix I of RFC 1112. (to be exact:
    draft-ietf-idmr-igmp-v2-06.txt)
    
    I don't know of any limit imposed by system on numbers of MCAST
    groups...
