Re: Question about Building and Sending Group and Source Specific Queries ( RFC 3376, section 6.6.3.2)

It is fine.

I think the confusion is coming when you look only at this text. But if
you also keep in mind when the query will have "Suppress Router-Side
Processing" bit set, things will be clearer.

As RFC 3376 says:

<< 

When transmitting a group specific query, if the group timer is larger
than LMQT, the "Suppress Router-Side Processing" bit is set in the query
message.

>>

So for first query, we would have lowered down group timer to LMQT for
all groups being queried so that can not be larger than LMQT and so
"Suppress Router-Side Processing" can not be set.

So now when will group timer be larger than LMQT when generating a
group-source specific query? Only when router has received a report for
a specific group. So in that case, it creates two queries, one with 'S'
Bit flag set and list of group-source which has timer higher than LMQT
and another one with 'S' bit unset and list of group-source which has
timer lower than LMQT.

I hope this is clear now.

Thanks,
Bharat

In that case, it generates two queries, one with the sources for which it does not want non-querier to reduce its timers and another with those for which it wants the non-querier to reduce their timers.
