[iptv-users] 8 port switch

[Ivo]

Without IGMP snooping multicast will be treated as broadcast traffic, being
forwarded to all ports (except the receiving one obviously), meaning a huge
amount of traffic/pps in case you have multiple STBs on the switch. This
could make your switch to go bonkers after a while, did you test this in
your lab?

Regards,
Ivo
