1. General Description of NuApps-IGMP-RM
NuApps-IGMP-RM is the professional testing software for Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP), a communication protocol designed to manage the membership of
Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP establishes multicast group memberships by
connecting IP hosts and adjacent multicast routers. It will be an important protocol when multicast-enabled
applications such as webinars, Internet radio/TV, and video/audio conferences are now being used widely
over the Internet. From those applications used widely, how to test the equipment becomes an important
issue.
NuApps-IGMP-RM must be activated with NuStreams Chassis. NuApps-IGMP-RM is designed for Xtramus
Technologies XM-RM series module cards. The table down below contains the XM-RM module cards,
FPGA/Firmware versions that are supported by NuApps-IGMP-RM.
