The IGMP protocol is implemented solely within the operating system, and is 
used automatically when an application joins a multicast group.  (It is not 
used when multicast packets get *sent*; only when multicast groups get joined.)

As I noted above, IGMP is implemented automatically by the OS; it's not 
something that higher-level code knows about.

I think that IGMP is a red herring here.  Nonetheless, if you're running an 
old version of the Linux kernel (if you're running Linux; I forget), then 
you should upgrade.
