It is because I don't know the meaning of querier. just know what is DR. =_="

Thus
"ip igmp query-timeout" is the time parameter between routers in the same subnet
"ip igmp query-max-response-time" is time parameter between routers
and multicast client.

In here, if "ip igmp join-group <multicast-source>" is run on (e0)R2,
I should run
"ip igmp query-max-response-time" in R1(e1), right ?

mutlicast source--> (e0)R1(e1)-----(e0)R2

Thanks for your response !
