Suppressing Flooding of Unknown Multicast Traffic in a VLAN
With IGMP Snooping enabled in a VLAN, multicast traffic for unknown multicast groups is flooded within
the VLAN by default. This wastes network bandwidth and affects multicast forwarding efficiency.
With the unknown multicast flooding suppression function enabled, when receiving a multicast packet
for an unknown multicast group, an IGMP Snooping switch creates a nonflooding entry and relays the
packet to router ports only, instead of flooding the packet within the VLAN. If the switch has no router
ports, it drops the multicast packet.
