I already read this in your awsome certification study guide (congrats, it was very helpful). But I was not asking for this. I am actually confused by two terms: IGMP querier and Multicast Designated Router. I have read somewhere that an IGMP querier is elected in a multiaccess network (ie ethernet) to query the hosts for their multicast group membership. The router with the lowest IP address is elected as the querier.
But it is also said that a Designated Router is elected (the one with the higher IP address) to query the hosts for their multicast group membership, and in case of PIM Sparse mode, it also sends the join and leave multicast group membership to the RP. My confusion comes from the fact that there will be two routers querying the hosts ?? Regards.
