IGMP Proxy per VLAN or  
instance
Introduced in version 02.6.00 of the Multi-Service 
IronWare software, multicast traffic can be reduced 
by configuring an BigIron RX switch to issue IGMP 
host messages on behalf of hosts that the 
configured router discovers through standard PIM 
interfaces. The router is then able to act as a proxy 
for the discovered hosts and perform IGMP tasks 
upstream of the discovered hosts. Where there are 
multiple IGMP hosts downstream, this removes the 
need to send multiple messages.
