[Xorp-hackers] Multicast routing

How does the XORP multicast router sniff IGMP/MLD messages from the network?

I checked the some routers' code. Most of them just open a RAW socket with
protocol set to IPPROTO_IGMP. But using this the router gets the
packets addressed to 224.0.0.1 only.

How does it receive IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 membership reports sent by other hosts?

Thanks,

Sachin
