I think you are absolutely right. I've tried to shut the router down and noticed that streaming still exists. Probably switch is taking control of routing, and there is no more need for router, because all clients are directly connected on switch. 

I will try to reorganize my network topology. Maybe I could not use more than one virtual router per one physical computer.

Do I have to use any unicast routing protocol, such static or ospf, to enable multicast routing (I mean in router configuration in config,boot file)?

Thank you very much for helping!

Regards, 
Miroslav

Maybe something is getting smart and short-circuiting your router
and sending directly to the clients?

You might have to get some more switches and create a more
realistic emulated network rather than use a single switch.

Thanks,
Ben
