flux from 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2; when a host is sending a report of EXCLUDE{192.168.1.1} to some group G,
that means the host needs the flux from all sources of group G except 192.168.1.1. This makes a great
difference from the previous IGMP.
The main improvements of IGMP Version3 over IGMP Version1 and Version2 are:
1. The status to be maintained is group and source list, not only the groups in IGMPv2.
2. The interoperations with IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 are defined in IGMPv3 status.
3. IP service interface is modified to allow specific source list thereby.
4. The queried includes his/her Robustness Variable and Query Interval in query group to allow the
synchronization with these variables of non-queries.
5. Max Response Time in Query Message has an exponential range, with maximum value from 25.5
secs of v2 to 53 mins, which can be used in links of great capacity.
6. In order to increase strength, the host retransmits State-Change message.
7. Additional data is defined to adapt future extension.
8. Report group is sent to 224.0.0.22 to help with IGMP Snooping of Layer 2 Switch.
9. Report group can include more than one group record, and it allows using small group to report
complete current status.
10. The host does not restrain operation any more, which simplifies the implement and allows direct
membership trace.
11. In querying messages, the new router side restraint process (S sign) modified the existing strength
of IGMPv2.
