Multicast member does not send back IGMP Report response to switch IGMP Query

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The switch our server is conncted to reported that occasionally our kernel failed to respond the switch's IGMP Query frame, without sending back IGMP Report. As a result, the server get kicked out of the multicast group after the switch's timer is up. The multicast failure leads to big delays in processing a request , which is intolerable in our trading system.
