One embodiment of the disclosures made herein is a method for facilitating a multicast group switch via a single Internet Group Management Protocol message. In accordance with such method, an operation is performed for receiving multicast information associated with a first multicast group and an operation is performed for receiving a request for receiving multicast information associated with a second multicast group. In response to receiving the request, an operation is performed for preparing an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Group Switch message. The IGMP Group Switch message designates an identity of the first multicast group and an identity of the second multicast group. After preparing the IGMP Group Switch message, an operation is performed for transmitting the IGMP Group Switch message for reception by a multicast-capable system. <IMAGE>
