Hi All,
As per RFC 4605, IGMPv2 Proxy device forwards Membership reports / leave
messages to Upstream.
What should be the Source IP address in these forwarded messages ?
Should it be the Upstream interface ip addr of the Proxy device or
0.0.0.0 ?
As per RFC 4541, section 2.1.1
IGMP networks may also include devices that implement "proxy-
reporting", in which reports received from downstream hosts are
summarized and used to build internal membership states. Such
proxy-reporting devices may use the all-zeros IP Source-Address
when forwarding any summarized reports upstream. For this reason,
IGMP membership reports received by the snooping switch must not
be rejected because the source IP address is set to 0.0.0.0.
I would like to know which rule is followed widely.
Regards,
Santosh
