Dear All,

I have two ISP for my multi-cast experiment

1) wireless broadband (eth3)
2) wired broadband (ppp0)

-ForWireless ISP I even can't see any IGMP/PIM message
over ppp0 interface (with tcpdump -i ppp0) after ppp0 get connected.

-with wired broadband: (eth3)
For Wired ISP I can't see any PIM message but I could see IGMP queries !
means ISP not running PIM-SM on their router.
They are not willing to provide information on their multicast setup !

I want my xorp router to act in behalf on underlaying networks to get
multi-cast data streams from Internet for their active mcast group
listeners ?
 
Do I need IGMP proxy for this purpose ? (any suggestion)
 
Current Xorp have any hack for such proxy-ing  ? Or it is in future
road-map ? 

Thanks in advance,
Saurabh
