76 Hmm it looks like an IGMP multicast group membership
77 query. I have seen the (SAP) service discovery function of VLC
78 broadcasting those (or something similar, i might be mixing up things
79 here).
80
81 On http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/igmp.htm i found:
82
83 "0x11 Group Membership Query, general or group-specific. General
84 Query is used to learn which groups have members on an attached
85 network. Group-Specific Query is used to learn if a particular group
86 has any members on an attached network. These two messages are
87 differentiated by the Group Address."
88
89 I hope this is of any help,
