@fredrik222 So you are saying that dropped packets are resent in streaming? I do not think so. That is what I am referring to by BROADCAST. Maybe 1 level up from the TCP level you started EXPERTING on.
Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet?
The only value I see with a fiber optical cable is if you have a long long run.
All the noise coming into an optical fiber is preserved and comes out the other side. I guess there is a value in not creating more noise while it is traveling through the optical cable. But if it's a short run of two Feet then is it really worth it. Seems a well shielded Ethernet cable would do just as fine without all the hassle of converting to optical which is a pain in the ass.
I always thought there was value with optical but it seems they're really may not be. Maybe I'm wrong. It seems a switch likely produces a lot of noise and inserting an audio grade switch is very prudent and going optical really doesn't solve switch noise problem. The benefit of re-clocking offered by a decent switch to clean up the signal is worthwhile.

The fact that all the data packets arrive in the proper order and number isn't the key thing here. Right? Isn't the real issue the quality and speed of the clocking that occurs within a switch? The noise is certainly an issue and also is worthy of attention. And another key issue is the bit rate through the ports. Audiophile Grade switches I believe better control the ports. Basic switches leave the ports wide open Vs. Higher grade switches for sound are scaled down to a much lower Data rate and by doing so it reduces noise. Not sure why but it sort of makes sense. But key Is the clocking which when done well favorably impacts jitter and improve sound obviously. Basic stuff I guess. |
That goes against the grain of humanity. Utopia is what it is you describe and that simply is taboo For whatever reason, evil challenges efforts to explain things so they are understood. Genius is the ability to explain things so they can be understood and successfully dispel interfering demons. Always good that someone explaining something truly understands the subject as well as possessing the ability to clearly communicate. To have both is a strong indicator that the Angels of Genius are involved.

Router connects to server via AQ Vodka ethernet cable, server out connects to first in line FMC via AQ Vodka ethernet cable.
