column mandatory r/w SNMPv2-TC-v1TruthValue
When TRUE:
- proxy clients are placed on one Point-to-Multipoint
  Multicast Forward VCC and all other clients are
  placed on another Point-to-Multipoint Multicast
  Forward VCC,
- all 'unknown' unicast frames and all unicast frames
  for LAN Destinations registered by proxy clients
  are forwarded on the Proxy Multicast Forward VCC
  ('unknown' unicast frames are not forwarded to
  non-proxy clients),
- all unicast frames for LAN Destinations registered
  by non-proxy clients are forwarded on the Multicast
  Send VCC to that client, and
- multicast and broadcast frames are transmitted on
  both Multicast Forward VCCs.
When FALSE:
-  all clients are placed on a single
   Point-to-Multipoint Multicast Forward VCC, and
-  the BUS functions as a simple forwarding device
   (efficient, but 'dumb') with respect to unicast
   frames.
One advantage of enabling this option is a reduction in
client pertubation due to 'nuisance' unicast frames (i.e.,
unicast frames not destined for the client); proxy clients
do not receive unicast frames destined for non-proxy
clients, and non-proxy clients never receive nuisance
unicast frames.  Another advantage is the reduction in
network bandwidth devoted to nuisance frames.  The
potential disadvantage is that the increased processing
requirements result in a degradation of overall system
performance.
