In this lab activity, you will implement and verify the operations of IGMP and MLD as well as
observe multicast flooding on the LAN when IGMP snooping is implemented.
You will work on different Cisco routers that are running Cisco IOS (c2900), Cisco IOS XE
(asr1001) and Cisco IOS XR (asr9k) Software. After completing this activity, you will be able
to meet these objectives:
Configure IP multicast support and monitoring for IGMP and MLD
Monitor the network without and with IGMP snooping

In the late 1980s, Dr. Steve Deering was working on a project that required him to send a message from one computer to a group of computers across a Layer 3 network. After studying several routing protocols, Dr. Deering concluded that the functionality of the routing protocols could be extended to support “Layer 3 multicasting.” This concept led to more research, and in 1991, Dr. Deering published his doctoral thesis, “Multicast Routing in a Datagram Network,” in which he defined the components required for IP multicasting, their functions, and their relationships with each other. The most basic definition of IP multicasting is as follows: Sending a message from a single source to selected multiple destinations across a Layer 3 network in one data stream.
