MLD snooping proxying

As shown in Figure 84, to reduce the number of MLD report and done messages received by the upstream device, you can enable MLD snooping proxying on the edge device. With MLD snooping proxying enabled, the edge device acts as a host for the upstream MLD snooping querier to send MLD report and done messages to Device A. The host MLD report suppression mechanism on the edge device does not take effect. For more information about the MLD report suppression mechanism, see "Configuring MLD."

The MLD snooping proxy device processes different MLD messages as follows:
