Forced Fast-Leave IGMP speeds up the process of blocking unnecessary IGMP
traffic to a switch port that is connected to multiple end nodes. (This feature
does not activate on ports where the switch detects only one end node.
Instead, the regular Fast Leave described in the preceding section activates.)
For example, in
figure 12-6, even if you configured Forced Fast-Leave on all
ports in the switch, the feature would activate only on port 7 (which has
multiple end nodes) when a Leave Group request arrived on that port.
When a port having multiple end nodes receives a Leave Group request from
one end node for a given multicast group X, Forced Fast-Leave activates and
waits a small amount of time to receive a join request from any other group
X member on that port. If the port does not receive a join request for that
group within the forced-leave interval, the switch then blocks any further
group X traffic to the port.
