METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLING RECEIVING IP MULTICAST SERVICES BASED ON NETWORK

摘要

PURPOSE: A network-based IP multicast service reception control apparatus and method thereof are provided to control data corresponding to a multicast channel by using a snooping table and to block access to a multicast channel. CONSTITUTION: A memory(611) stores a snooping table and a service profile that includes multicast channel information. A processor(612) determines whether a user joins a specific multicast channel by using service profile. The processor updates information about a specific user to the snooping table based on a determining result. The processor controls data corresponding to the specific multicast channel that is transmitted from a multicast router.
