Welcome ! Thank you for the protocols.

Which of them are required on firewall (boundary) and which one between Apple Tv and iPhone ?

I tested two scenarios:

- Apple TV plugged directly to ISP router (no proxy, no firewall) and it works, iPhone sees AppleTV

- Apple TV connected to wifi network (AP->switch->router->proxy->firewall) and iPhone can't see AppleTV. But from AppleTV I can access iTunes. I don't need radio stream ect, only connection between iPhone and AppleTV

Your Firewall should need no more than allowing access for iTunes. I think your problem is your proxy, I seem to recall it's not supported.

I can request to pass this traffic without proxy but I need to know destination IP. Where can I find these details ? Is there one url/IP which should go without proxy - itunes.apple.com ?
