Based on IGMP snooping, IGMP snooping proxy enables a switch to act as a substitute for an upstream Layer 3 device to send IGMP Query messages to downstream hosts, and also to act as a substitute for downstream hosts to send IGMP Report/Leave messages to an upstream device. As such, this function conserves bandwidth between the upstream device and the local device.
