With IGMP Snooping/Proxy on access devices (such as Huawei OLTs), multiple receiver joins for the same (VLAN, Group) are aggregated. The OLT maintains a per-group member table and typically forwards a single upstream IGMP Join toward the multicast router (or querier) for that group, regardless of how many downstream users in that VLAN have joined. Additional local joins add downstream interfaces to the OLT’s table but do not trigger extra upstream joins per user. Hence, stating that two same-program viewers cause “two join messages” upstream is wrong.
