The igmp subsystem currently does not keep state on the interface layer
about robustness etc. An interval setting is only kept for IGMP v3 and
used only for general query timeouts with igmp V3. The interval is
different one from the one used for the host membership reports.

Looking at the spec I get the impression that these variables seems to be
mainly of interest to router to router communications?
