all end devices in the network to announce their multicast memberships. This central device
is the IGMP querier. The IGMP query responses, known as IGMP reports, keep the switch or
router updated with the current multicast group membership on a port-by-port basis. If the
switch or router does not receive updated membership information in a timely fashion, it
stops forwarding multicast traffic to the port where the end device is located.
