After reading all your suggestions and thoughtful explanations about how/why to only have only one bridge and leave everything else on the public side, it seems I'll have to do some reconfiguration and do some further tests to see if everything works then as expected. I'll setup a test envrionment a...

Ok, I think it's clear to me now, what's actually happening in my case. I'm also sure a month-long course would be more than useful for me. However, here's the complete description. I have Mikrotik HEX S. Our ISP provider offers FTTH connection, so I have GBIC in SFP1 as uplink from our ISP. We also...

You should probably have the WAN port outside any bridge. There are protocols that only work atop a bridge, including IGMP queriers, but you don't run that on the WAN side, you do it on the LAN. That's probably the main issue in my case. I have two bridges (bridge-wan and bridge-lan) and there's al...

Thank you again for thorough explanation. I think we are close to the final solution. Yes, there's no 1gbit/s streams altogether on my current network, but we have multiple multicast streamers and the complete sum of all streams is over 100mbit/s and it's saturating LAN uplink on main mikrotik route...

Thank you for your answer. I also accept the fact I don't understand how to control the multicast traffic so I'd be really grateful for a further explanation. Let's say I have some (about 10) simple multicast mpegts streams generated with ffmpeg or vlc or similar. These multicast groups are all gene...

I have a local multicast udp stream enabled on my local lan (i.e. udp://239.1.1.1:5000). On Mikrotik router (latest router os) with default config and igmp snooping enabled that group is always active on lan bridge, even if there are no joins on that group in our local lan. The entry is also not pre...

I can confirm this also happens with mutliple deployed routers I manage after updating to v7.x, including HEX POE and HEX S models with different SFP modules installed. On v6.x all these sfp modules had all the info details available there. Is there maybe a solution available. If not, has a ticket a...

I'm bringing this thread to life as I'm also wondering if there's any kind of solution to this matter available? I'd be also more than happy to have an option to convert multicast to unicast directly with mikrotik router. I guess udpxy isn't and won't be available. Do we have some kind of alternative?

Hello all... as the title says, I've been struggling for the last few days setting up MikroTik HEX RB750g3 with latest RouterOS (6.42.1) and multicast with IGMP snooping enabled. The idea is to have IGMP snooping enabled, so the multicast traffic won't flood all ports, but only the ones where client...
