downstream interface.
A proxy device performs host functions on the upstream interface based on the database. It responds to
queries according to the information in the database or sends join/leave messages when the database
changes. On the other hand, the proxy device performs router functions on the downstream interfaces by
participating in the querier election, sending queries, and maintaining memberships based on the
reports.
