Manual:Routing/IGMP-Proxy

IGMP-Proxy

Internet Group Management Protocol Proxy allows users to proxy non-standard IGMP solution IGMP traffic over to other networks behind the router, thus allowing proprietary solution to distribute their content over network where network devices does not know anything about used inner workings of proprietary solution.

IGMP-Proxy features:

• Distribute different IGMP based solution packets over network
• Manage distribution of IGMP based solutions
• On less powerful hardware when PIM-SM would be too heavy to run for it

• alternative-subnets () :
• comment (text) : commentary on the entry in the entry in imgp-proxy interface list
• disabled (yes|no) : is interface disabled
• interface (interface name) : interface that this entry is set up for
• rate-limit (integer) : limitation of traffic rate this interface can receive or transmit IGMP streams
• threshold () :
• upstream (yes|no) : must be set if interface is closer to IGMP groups source. Sets interface that only receives IGMP data and will not resend IGMP group data stream back in to the network it received it from.

Here you can see what active group streams are going through the router

• group (IP address) : IGMP group that is the owner of the data pasing
• source (IP address) : router that these packets are originating from
• incoming-interface (interface name) : packet stream is coming in router through this interface
• outgoing-interface (interface name) : packet stream is going out of router through this interface
