Multicasting is useful when the same data needs to be sent to more than one device. For
instance, if one device is responsible for acquiring data that many other devices need,
then multicasting is a natural fit. Note that using multicasting as opposed to sending the
same data to individual devices uses less network bandwidth. The multicast feature also
enables you to receive multicast video streams from multicast servers.
The IGMP Proxy page allows you to enable multicast on available WAN and LAN
connections. You can configure the WAN or LAN interface as one of the following:

Upstream
UpstreamUpstream
Upstream The interface that IGMP requests from hosts are sent to the multicast
router.

Downstream
