Re: [magma] Question about IGMP host implementation

Hi Kunal,

             Yes it should. The scenario that I have in mind is a switch
whose mrouter interface is in vlanA and igmp joins are received on an
interface in vlanB. In this case, query coming from vlanA(different subnet)
has to be answered by hosts in vlanB.

Thanks,
Indranil
