+IGMP Proxy
+==========
+
+Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
+
+A IGMP Proxy to send IGMP host messages on behalf of a connected client.
+The configuration must define one upstream interface, and one or more downstream interfaces.
+If multicast traffic originates outside the upstream subnet, the "alt-subnet" option can be used in order to define legal multicast sources.
+
+simple 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 igmp-proxy.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ # show protocols igmp-proxy
+ interface eth0 {
+ alt-subnet 10.0.0.0/23
+ role upstream
+ }
+ interface eth1 {
+ role downstream
+ } \ No newline at end of file
