An Internet Group Multicast Protocol (IGMP) proxy provides network
redundancy to prevent a severed or damaged line, or a malfunctioning
router interface from denying services to the IGMP proxy by outputting
the multicast group addresses that are received by the IGMP proxy to a
first multicast interface that is electrically connected to a first
router interface of a router, and to a second multicast interface that is
electrically connected to a second router interface of the router.
