Lake Controller Operation Manual Rev 1.6.1
Network & Firewall Overview
3.6.4 Dante with Quality of Service Ethernet Switches
The use of an external Ethernet switch with QoS (Quality of Service) is strongly recommended when using
Dante digital audio over your Lake network. Dante uses standard network QoS techniques available in
off-the-shelf Ethernet switches to prioritize clocking and audio trafc, and to allow non-Dante devices such
as personal computers to share a single network with Dante devices. The diagram below shows the order of
priority given to the different types of data packets going through the switch. Using a switch without QoS,
or with QoS turned off on a busy network, may result in audio packets arriving too late to be played out,
resulting in audio glitches.
Figure 3-13: Dante Quality of Service Switch Conguration
Please refer to the Audinate document AUD-ANO-QoS Switch Conguration for further details regarding
ACL packet ltering. This document is available via:
Start > All Programs > Lake Controller vX.X > Documentation > Dante Documentation after installing the
Lake Controller software.
