+.In sys/types.h
+.In sys/socket.h
+.In netinet/in.h
+.In netinet/in_systm.h
+.In netinet/ip.h
+.In netinet/igmp.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn socket AF_INET SOCK_RAW IPPROTO_IGMP
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Tn IGMP
+is a control plane protocol used by IPv4 hosts and routers to
+propagate multicast group membership information.
+Normally this protocol is not used directly, except by the kernel
+itself, in response to multicast membership requests by user
+applications.
+Routing protocols may open a raw socket to directly interact with
+.Nm .
+.Pp
+As of
+.Fx 8.0 ,
+IGMP version 3 is implemented.
+This adds support for Source-Specific Multicast (SSM), whereby
+applications may communicate to upstream multicast routers that
+they are only interested in receiving multicast streams from
+particular sources.
+.\"
+.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.\"
+.It net.inet.igmp.stats
+This opaque read-only variable exposes the stack-wide IGMPv3
+protocol statistics to
+.Xr netstat 1 .
+.\"
+.It net.inet.igmp.ifinfo
+This opaque read-only variable exposes the per-link IGMPv3 status to
+.Xr ifmcstat 8 .
+.\"
+.It net.inet.igmp.gsrdelay
+This variable specifies the time threshold, in seconds, for processing
+Group-and-Source Specific Queries (GSR).
+As GSR query processing requires maintaining state on the host,
+it may cause memory to be allocated, and is therefore a potential
+attack point for Denial-of-Service (DoS).
+If more than one GSR query is received within this threshold,
+it will be dropped, to mitigate the potential for DoS.
+.\"
+.It net.inet.igmp.default_version
+This variable controls the default version of IGMP to be used on all links.
+This sysctl is normally set to 3 by default.
+.\"
+.It net.inet.igmp.legacysupp
+If this variable is non-zero, then IGMP v1 and v2 membership reports
+received on a link will be allowed to suppress the IGMP v3 state-change
+reports which would otherwise be issued by this host.
+This sysctl is normally enabled by default.
+.\"
+.It net.inet.igmp.v2enable
+If this variable is non-zero, then IGMP v2 membership queries will be
+processed by this host, and backwards compatibility will be enabled
+until the v2 'Old Querier Present' timer expires.
+This sysctl is normally enabled by default.
+.\"
+.It net.inet.igmp.v1enable
+If this variable is non-zero, then IGMP v1 membership queries will be
+processed by this host, and backwards compatibility will be enabled
+until the v1 'Old Querier Present' timer expires.
+This sysctl is normally enabled by default.
+.\"
+.It net.inet.igmp.sendlocal
+If this variable is non-zero, then IGMP state-changes for groups in
+the 224.0.0.0/24 link-scope prefix will be issued.
+This behaviour is recommended if deploying
+.Fx
+in a network environment with layer 2 devices which snoop IGMP traffic
+to mitigate multicast propagation throughout the network.
+This sysctl is normally enabled by default.
+.\"
+.It net.inet.igmp.sendra
+If this variable is non-zero, then IGMP v2 and v3 reports will contain
+the IP Router Alert option.
+This sysctl is normally enabled by default.
+.\"
+.It net.inet.igmp.recvifkludge
+If this variable is non-zero, then received IGMP reports which contain
+0.0.0.0 as their source will be rewritten to contain the subnet address.
+This is useful when there are hosts on-link which have not yet been
+configured with a primary IPv4 address.
+This sysctl is normally enabled by default.
