   "If IGMP snooping is enabled on a switch, or more commonly a wireless router/switch, it will interfere with UPnP/DLNA device discovery (SSDP) if incorrectly or incompletely configured (e.g. without an active querier or IGMP proxy), making UPnP appear unreliable."

   I'm having issues with SSDP on my Philips Hue bridge and I have ZyXEL smart switches and Mikrotik routers with IGMP proxies (configured for IPTV), and I'm not sure how to make it all work properly.

      My smart switches can serve as queriers, but I'm not sure if this is necessary if my routers have IGMP proxies. I'm also not sure if any special configuration is required to make the IGMP proxies play ball with SSDP, since my impression was that the IGMP proxy is only there to forward external multicast traffic to the internal network.

         This is the kind of problem where, if you ask a guy with a Cisco certification about it, he'll shrug because he only works with corporate networks, and then there's nobody else to ask, because nobody makes a living from setting up networks where UPnP and IPTV have to coexist, since that's a situation you rarely find outside of home networks.
