What are the network requirements for using Dante?

Here are some of the key network requirements for Dante:

- Bandwidth: Dante requires a minimum of 100 Mbps Ethernet networks to transmit high-quality audio. However, it is recommended to use gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) for best performance, especially in larger systems with many channels.

- Latency: Dante is designed to minimize latency and provide low-latency audio transmission, typically less than 5 milliseconds. However, this can be affected by network congestion and other factors.

- Reliability: Dante requires a reliable network to ensure that audio signals are transmitted without interruption or degradation. This includes having redundant network paths and switches, and avoiding shared networks with other heavy data traffic.

- Network topology: Dante supports various network topologies, including point-to-point, star, and daisy-chain. It is important to choose the right topology for your specific requirements and to ensure that it is properly configured.

- Quality of Service (QoS): To ensure that audio signals are transmitted with the highest priority, it is important to implement QoS in your network. This involves assigning higher priority to audio data compared to other data traffic.
