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 +   upstream. + +   If it's vital that the daemon should act exactly as 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. + +Example +------- + +Interface `eth1` LAN is behind NAT.
