Hi guys.
I am investigating IGMP snooping now and have found the somewhat similar sounding terms:
Do these terms describe the common functionality? I mean can I use igmpproxy or mcproxy to implement IGMP snooping with proxy reporting in a Linux bridge? As far as I understand the kernel implementation of IGMP snooping is pretty straightforward and doesn't support proxy reporting.
I am investigating IGMP snooping now and have found the somewhat similar sounding terms:
- IGMP proxy - which is implemented by igmpproxy and mcproxy;
- IGMP snooping with proxy reporting - which assumes the limiting of IGMP Membership reports and Leave messages forwarded to IGMP Querier through the IGMP-snooping-enabled bridge, in addition to the basic IGMP snooping functionality.
