Dante Requirements

  • Use CAT6 cabling for all Dante interconnects.
  • Reserve 30% of available bandwidth if running control traffic on the same network. Using this conservative reservation, a 100 Mbit link could handle up to 48x48 channels and a 1 Gbps link could handle up to 512x512 channels at 48 kHz.
  • Uplinks between switches should be Gigabit.
  • Repeater hubs are not supported.
  • Use commercial-grade managed switches. Cognio Smart Processors cannot be daisy-chained, so every system needs at least one switch. The switches must support the following:
    • Quality of Service (QoS) with four queues.
    • DiffServ (DSCP) with strict priority.
