Re: [sc-users] TCP default?

["Kuivila, Ronald" <rkuivila@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Felix,

On a related note:

Does anyone out there have detailed knowledge about AVB (or Dante) networking?  

The synchronization, timing, and bandwidth guarantees those frameworks provide could

really simplify projects involving multiple computers on the same LAN.  

AVB allows WIFI while Dante requires wired connections. MOTU is doing AVB and 

has a relatively cheap AVB switch.   (On the other hand, sound system companies seem 

to be gravitating towards Dante.)

Cheers,

RJK

Really I don't think we have a problem. UDP works well. I don't think I've ever noticed a dropped message, but I'm sure this happens if you are on the real internet.

We can fix or improve TCP and people can find out in the real world if it's better for certain things.

This seems to be a very good argument to just implement any necessary feature specifically on top of udp where you need it.
