igmpproxy - Multicast router utilizing IGMP forwarding

Description:

igmpproxy  is a simple multicast routing daemon which uses IGMP forward-
ing to dynamically route multicast traffic. Routing is done by  defining
an  "upstream"  interface  on which the daemon act as a normal Multicast
client, and one or more "downstream" interfaces that serves  clients  on
the  destination  networks.  This  is  useful  in situations where other
dynamic multicast routers (like ’mrouted’ or ’pimd’) cannot be used.

Since igmpproxy only uses IGMP signalling, the daemon is only suited for
situations where multicast traffic comes from only one neighbouring net-
work.  In more advanced cases, ’mrouted’  or  ’pimd’  is  probably  more
suited.   The  daemon  is not designed for cascading, and probably won’t
scale very well.

Currently only IGMPv1 and v2 is supported on downstream interfaces.   On
the  upstream  interface  the kernel IGMP client implementation is used,
and supported IGMP versions is therefore limited to  that  supported  by
the kernel.
