IGMP

IGMP, known as Internet Group Management Protocol, is used to manage hosts from multicast
group.
IGMP Proxy: Enables or disables the router's IGMP Proxy.
Upstream Interface: When IGMP Proxy enabled, sets one of the router's existing IP interfaces as
the upstream interface; all other router interfaces are designated downstream interfaces.
IGMP Forward All: Enables/Disables your router's ability to forward multicast traffic to ALL
interfaces.
IGMP Snooping: Enables/Disables the IGMP Snoop functionality in the bridge. When the IGMP
snoop functionality is enabled, all the attached bridge interfaces are designated as downstream
interfaces.

MLD

MLD, short for Multicast Listener Discovery protocol, is a component if the Internet Protocol
version 6(IPv6) suite. MLD is used by IPv6 to discover multicast listeners on a directly attached link,
much as IGMP used in IPv4. The protocol is embedded in ICMPv6 instead of using a separate
protocol. MLDv1 is similar to IGMPv2 and MLDv2 is similar to IGMPv3.
MLD Proxy: check whether to enable this function. MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol)
Proxy intercepts the MLD request from Clients and forwards it to the router after some dealings.
Support MLDv1 and MLDv2.
Upstream Interface: When MLD Proxy enabled, sets one of the router's existing IP interfaces as the
upstream interface; all other router interfaces are designated downstream interfaces.
