Summary

Effective use of multicast technology can significantly reduce network load, especially in networks that support multimedia transmission. This technique has reported number of implementations due to increasing interest in audiovisual technology and the capabilities of modern networks. However, multicast is still mystery for many programmers, network administrators and ordinary users who could make it more popular, and utilize this promising technique of transmission [1, 2, 11]. The article discusses the IP Multicast technology and focuses on the study of IGMP on different hardware platforms – the Cisco 2611 router and the ASUS WL500g Premium (installed with OpenWRT Linux operating system).
