Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a method for optimizing a download of requested data to an electronic data processing unit that is currently receiving unrequested multicast data through a router included in a network. The unrequested multicast data corresponds to at least one multicast data group. Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) V2 Leave Messages are sent to the router for the at least one multicast data group. IGMP Membership Queries issued by the router for the at least one multicast data group are ignored, so as to cause the router to terminate a transmission of the unrequested multicast data to free up available bandwidth for the download of the requested data.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for downloading data to an electronic data processing unit (EDPU) that is currently receiving multicast data through a router included in a network, the multicast data corresponding to at least one multicast data group, the method comprising: determining that a download is to be received for use by the EDPU; sensing a receipt of multicast data so as to identify group numbers of the multicast data; recording in a list the multicast group nu…
