Report

When receiving a report for a multicast group, the proxy looks up the
multicast forwarding table for the entry for the multicast group. If the
forwarding entry is found with the receiving port contained as a

dynamic member port in the outgoing port list, the proxy resets the

aging timer for the entry. If the forwarding entry is found but the

outgoing port list does not include the receiving port, the proxy adds the
port to the outgoing port list as a dynamic member port and starts an

aging timer for it. If no forwarding entry is found, the proxy creates the

entry, adds the receiving port to the outgoing port list as a dynamic

member port and starts an aging timer for the port, and then, sends a
report to the group out all router ports.

Leave

In response to an IGMP leave message for a multicast group, the proxy
sends a group-specific query out the receiving port. After making sure

that no member port is contained in the forwarding entry for the
multicast group, the proxy sends a leave message to the group out all

router ports.
