   Note –

   You need to enable routing through an ICP neighborhood only if your proxy has other siblings or parents in the ICP neighborhood. If your proxy is a parent to another proxy and does not have any siblings or parents of its own, then you need to enable ICP only for that proxy. You do not need to enable routing through an ICP neighborhood.
