Proxy Allows the switch to consolidate IGMP Host Membership Reports received on its
downstream ports and to generate a consolidated proxy report for forwarding to its

Robust Value Allows a user to set the switch to offset expected packet loss on a subnet. If packet
losses on a subnet are unacceptably high, the Robust Value field can be increased
