Here it is !! That was my confusion, because it seems that this capability was added in order to query IGMP version 1 hosts. With IGMP version 2 it seems you do not need it. But what happen then if you have both IGMP v2 and PIM DR's ?? Do they both query the hosts ?
Any Multicast expert right there ?
