Study Notes
Multicasting and Multicast Routing Protocols
- Multicasting is a communication method where a sender sends a message to a group of recipients.
- Each multicast router needs a list of groups with members on that interface.
- This information is collected locally and globally.
- IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) handles the initial task of local group membership.
- Multicast routing protocols handle global group membership.
Mapping Class D to Ethernet Physical Address
- A 32-bit multicast address has 23 bits for multicast and 5 unused bits.
- Ethernet physical address is 48 bits.
- The first 23 bits of the multicast address map to a 23-bit multicast address portion.
- The remaining 23 bits map to a physical Ethernet address.
- Example Ethernet multicast address range: 01:00:5E:00:00:00 to 01:00:5E:7F:FF:FF
Example 12.2
- To convert 232.43.14.7 to Ethernet multicast:
- Extract the rightmost 23 bits of the IP address (in this case 2B:0E:07).
- Concatenate this with the Ethernet multicast starting address (01:00:5E: to get 01:00:5E:2B:0E:07).
Example 12.3
- To convert 238.212.24.9 to Ethernet multicast:
- Extract the rightmost 3 bytes in hexadecimal (D4:18:09).
- Subtract 8 from the leftmost byte if the result is >= 8 (54:18:09).
- Prepend this result with the Ethernet multicast starting address part (01:00:5E:00:00:00) to get 01:00:5E:54:18:09.
Tunneling
- Multicast IP datagram's data is encapsulated into a unicast IP datagram.
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)
- IGMP is a group management protocol.
- It helps multicast routers create and update lists of loyal members for each router interface.
- IGMP operates at two levels: local and global.
- IGMP protocol manages the local group membership information.
IGMP Messages
- IGMP messages are used for group membership queries and reports.
- Three types of membership queries:
- General
- Group-specific
- Group-and-source-specific
Topics Discussed in the Section
- Group Management
- IGMP Messages
- IGMP Protocol applied to hosts and routers
- IGMP role in forwarding
- Variables and Timers
- Encapsulation
- Compatibility with other versions
Position of IGMP in the network layer
- IGMP and ICMP reside in the network layer above IP.
