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.
