Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling a Report message processing load at an IGMPv3 proxy/router. A <max_records> variable governs a number of current-state Group Records that can be sent in an IGMPv3 Report message in response to a General Membership Query (GMQ). The <max_records> variable may be provisioned in IGMPv3 hosts, or dynamically provided by the IGMPv3 proxy/routers, which embed the <max_records> variable in the GMQs.
