GARUDAMON GUIDE..IGMP
IGMP dapat digunakan untuk mentransfer video secara multicast dan juga untuk game online, mengingat untuk tujuan-tujuan tersebut, IGMP jauh lebih efisien dibandingkan dengan metode unicast normal. Meskipun demikian, IGMP rawan diserang, karena itulah pada umumnya produk-produk firewall mengizinkan pengguna untuk menonaktifkannya jika tidak diperlukan.
IGMP protocol:
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a communications protocol used to manage the membership of Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts and adjacent multicast routers to establish multicast group memberships. It is an integral part of the IP multicast specification, like ICMP for unicast connections. IGMP is used for online video and gaming, and allows more efficient use of resources when supporting these uses. IGMP does allow some attacks, and firewalls commonly allow the user to disable it if it will not be needed.
