The multicast proxy can be instantiated multiple times, + is dynamically configurable at runtime, supports multiple upstreams and peering-interfaces + for a non hierarchical interconnection of multicast proxies. + </longdescription> + <upstream> + <bugs-to>https://github.com/mcproxy/mcproxy/issues</bugs-to> + <remote-id type="github">mcproxy/mcproxy</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
