Per default join and leave requests are send using dedicated reports. The option combined-leave-join allows the combination of leave and join records within a single IGMPv3 report using multiple group records. This option is applicable to IGMP version 3 only!

If send-multicast-traffic is true, the BNG Blaster generates multicast traffic on the network interface based on the specified group and source attributes mentioned before. This traffic includes some special signatures for faster processing and more detailed analysis.

If group is set to 293.0.0.1 with group-iter of 0.0.0.2, source 1.1.1.1 and group-count 3 the result are the following three groups (S.G) 1.1.1.1,239.0.0.1, 1.1.1.1,239.0.0.3 and 1.1.1.1,239.0.0.5.

If max-join-delay is configured, the final report includes how often the measured join delay is above the configured threshold here.
