In IGMP, the host needs to both listen (for queries) and send (reports, leave). The inverse is true for mrouters. It seems like they both need to join the group if they are running IGMP of some version. IGMPv1 does not support leave. -- Hal _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
