Anil,
IGMP is needed only to support multicasting across more than one subnet,
which is not necessary for RIP-2's use of multicast. The Host Requirements
RFC and the draft Router Requirements RFC have overridden the requirements
stated in RFC 1112 and have specified that IGMP is OPTIONAL (whereas the
rest of RFC 1112 is RECOMMENDED).
