[magma] A question on multicast states in non-querier

[Bharat Joshi <[e-mail]>]

Hi All,

      If there are two IGMP routers on a LAN, one of them gets elected as querier and another as non-querier.

      The querier sends query and hosts on that LAN reply with the reports. Querier sees those report and create a database. Non-querier also sees those report and would create the same database.

      Question is whether Multicast routing protocol running on non-querier's upstream interface should use this database to join/leave the multicast group or not?

      IIRC, it is required because the DR for that LAN could be the non-querier router and if we do not join upstream, multicast data won't flow to this router. Is this a correct thinking?

Regards,
Bharat
