+IGMP Proxy
+##########
+
+:abbr:`IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)` proxy sends IGMP host messages
+on behalf of a connected client. The configuration must define one, and only one
+upstream interface, and one or more downstream interfaces.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp-proxy interface <interface> role
+ <upstream | downstream>
+
+ * **upstream:** The upstream network interface is the outgoing interface
+ which is responsible for communicating to available multicast data sources.
+ There can only be one upstream interface.
+
+ * **downstream:** Downstream network interfaces are the distribution
+ interfaces to the destination networks, where multicast clients can join
+ groups and receive multicast data. One or more downstream interfaces must
+ be configured.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp-proxy interface <interface> alt-subnet <network>
+
+ Defines alternate sources for multicasting and IGMP data. The network address
+ must be on the following format 'a.b.c.d/n'. By default, the router will
+ accept data from sources on the same network as configured on an interface.
+ If the multicast source lies on a remote network, one must define from where
+ traffic should be accepted.
+
+ This is especially useful for the upstream interface, since the source for
+ multicast traffic is often from a remote location.
+
+ This option can be supplied multiple times.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp-proxy disable-quickleave
+
+ Disables quickleave mode. In this mode the daemon will not send a Leave IGMP
+ message upstream as soon as it receives a Leave message for any downstream
+ interface. The daemon will not ask for Membership reports on the downstream
+ interfaces, and if a report is received the group is not joined again the
+ upstream.
+
+ If it's vital that the daemon should act exactly like a real multicast client
+ on the upstream interface, this function should be enabled.
+
+ Enabling this function increases the risk of bandwidth saturation.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp-proxy disable
+
+ Disable this service.
+
+.. _igmp:proxy_example:
+
+Example
+-------
+
+Interface `eth1` LAN is behind NAT. In order to subscribe `10.0.0.0/23` subnet
+multicast which is in `eth0` WAN we need to configure igmp-proxy.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set protocols igmp-proxy interface eth0 role upstream
+ set protocols igmp-proxy interface eth0 alt-subnet 10.0.0.0/23
+ set protocols igmp-proxy interface eth1 role downstream
+
+Operation
+=========
+
+.. opcmd:: restart igmp-proxy
+
+ Restart the IGMP proxy process.
