- IGMP messages
- Protocol messages that are used in the host-router communication.
- IGMP snooping
- A switch protocol that listens to the IGMP messages exchanged between the host and router. It generates a forwarding table that associates ports with multicast groups.
- Incoming Interface (IIF)
- An interface on which a multicast packet is received. It can be a source interface or the rendezvous point (RP).
- Internet Small System Unit System Interface (iSCSI)
- A TCP/IP-based protocol that establishes and manages connections between servers and storage devices in a data center network.

- IPv4 Routing
- A routing mechanism that forwards network packets to a destination IP address based on a routing table.
