Loyal Members

[life24]

Hello my friends,
What means loyal members?

It seems that the picture in the OP was taken from this Book.

I suggest that you should read its content.

Amazing the number of people that try to get strangers to do their homework.

Don't listen to these guys. Loyal members are the group, or set, that are part of an exclusive club. The club is for members only. You can recognize them by their colorful, lightweight jackets.

Good find.
I just read (part of that book). Nowhere does the author explain what a "loyal member" is. Nor does it get obvious what it is.

When googling for "loyal member multicast", I get either references to that one particular book. Or I see more people asking exactly the same question. And nobody is able to answer the question.

It looks like you are the lazy person here.
Did you look at the question ? Do you know the answer ? If so, please explain it to us.
Life24 has asked more basic questions on this forum. But they were always valid questions. It seems English is not his native language. And I can tell you from experience, sometimes the terminology and words used themselves can obfuscate even the simplest concepts.


Life24, your question is a good question. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have an answer. I think that "a loyal member in multicast" is exactly the same thing as "a member in multicast".

I checked (quick check via google) to see if "loyal member' is used in any RFC. It seems that is not the case. That means it is not an official term. I bet the author of the book made it up himself. I'm not a multicast expert myself, but I never heard these words used before.

On the other hand, if a person has a real intrest in a topic/issue and they pull themselves together to explain the background/context of their quest it provides clarity and Big Help to be able to Help them. Otherwise, it feels like they through something in public just to "Mud water".

How can i proof that my question isn't my homework? :\
I interest network and hardware and now i read Data communication and networking from Behrouz Forouzan and sometimes i have question from concept.

Life24 has posted a few questions before here, during the last few weeks. They were always valid questions. To me it is clear he is reading books on his own, and trying to learn more about networking. And that English isn't his first or second language. I don't mind answering those questions once in a while. His questions are more meaningful to me than the usual "my WiFi is slow".

And in this case the question was clear to me. That book uses "loyal members" as if it is some official term in multicast technology that means something different than just "member". I believe the author of the book made it up.

If you're new to something, it can be very hard to figure out something is bogus. Asking is a valid way to figure it out. I don't like it when strangers try to discourage others from just asking questions.

Not that I know a lot about networking, but I think it may be a typo. The author may have meant local members.

It would appear the author is inventing terms to suit his fancy, rather than using industry standard terms. I cannot find any information as to the authors credentials beyond "he's a professor and wrote lots of books". Based on that, and your previous questions posted here in this forum, I would have to question the usefulness of this book.

Regardless, all I can determine from a quick peek at the book is the author is attempting to describe something related to IGMP multicast groups.

Yeah this is My guess too.

This is as close as it can come to an explanation (middle of the page)

BTW, the Author Forouzan is currently a Professor in De Anza College.

Alma Mater of Steve Wozniak, American computer engineer, Co-founder of Apple Inc.

It looks like Woz invented the Apple Computer and Forouzan invented the term IGMP Loyal Members. - - :sneaky:

Hello my friends,
I contact with Dr.Forouzan(Author of book) and he told me:

In multicasting, those user that still want to receive multicast messages are called loyal members.

Those who insist getting messages from one network.
