18.2.2 IGMP Proxy
To allow better network performance, you can use IGMP proxy instead of a multicast routing
protocol in a simple tree network topology.
In IGMP proxy, an upstream interface is the port that is closer to the source (or the root of the
multicast tree) and is able to receive multicast traffic. There should only be one upstream
interface (also known as the query port) for one query VLAN on the VES-1616FE-55A. A
downstream interface is a port that connects to a host (such as a computer).
The following figure shows a network example where A is the multicast source while
computers 1, 2 and 3 are the receivers. In the figure A is connected to the upstream interface
and 1, 2 and 3 are connected to the downstream interface.
Figure 76 IGMP Proxy Network Example
The VES-1616FE-55A will not respond to IGMP join and leave messages on the upstream
interface. The VES-1616FE-55A only responds to IGMP query messages on the upstream
interface. The VES-1616FE-55A sends IGMP query messages to the hosts that are members
of the query VLAN.
The VES-1616FE-55A only sends an IGMP leave messages via the upstream interface when
the last host leaves a multicast group.
In daisychain mode, Ethernet interface 1 is set as the upstream interface and Ethernet interface
2 and the DSL ports are set as downstream interfaces.
