+/**
+ * A token representing the membership of an Internet Protocol (IP) multicast
+ * group.
+ *
+ * <p> A membership key may represent a membership to receive all datagrams sent
+ * to the group, or it may be <em>source-specific</em>, meaning that it
+ * represents a membership that receives only datagrams from a specific source
+ * address. Whether or not a membership key is source-specific may be determined
+ * by invoking its {@link #getSourceAddress() getSourceAddress} method.
+ *
+ * <p> A membership key is valid upon creation and remains valid until the
+ * membership is dropped by invoking the {@link #drop() drop} method, or
+ * the channel is closed. The validity of the membership key may be tested
+ * by invoking its {@link #isValid() isValid} method.
+ *
+ * <p> Where a membership key is not source-specific and the underlying operation
+ * system supports source filtering, then the {@link #block block} and {@link
+ * #unblock unblock} methods can be used to block or unblock multicast datagrams
+ * from particular source addresses.
