    Hack multicast "keep alive" mechanism. The "-K <seconds>" option can be · b9425e72

    used to force the server to send an IGMP report if it doesn't receive any
    packets within <seconds> seconds.  As long as the server is receiving
    packets, it won't send the report.
    
    What I'm not lovin here, is that to send a report I have to drop membership
    in the group (socket opt IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP) and rejoin (IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP).
    Simply trying to do an add membership doesn't work because the kernel thinks
    you are already in the group and errs out.  I'm hoping all the up and down
    activity doesn't make the switch behave any worse than it already does.
