RE: Multicast boundary or ip igmp access group

I'd like to share my understanding with you.

Multicast boundary is to only check destination address of multicast stream
and can be used between routers or between routers and hosts.

IP Igmp access group is to only check incoming IGMP report messages and is
used between routers and hosts.

Any input are welcome.
