With older versions of ethereal (specifically 08.13C) and windump, the attached packet is decoded as IGMP V1. This would seem to be correct, as the type field=0x12.

These two messages are differentiated by the Group Address, as described in section 1.4 . Membership Query messages are referred to simply as "Query" messages. 0x16 = Version 2 Membership Report 0x17 = Leave Group There is an additional type of message, for backwards-compatibility with IGMPv1: 0x12 = Version 1 Membership Report David Nicoson Software Test Systems Thomson (317) 587-4779
