For best results, we recommend a Giga LAN network switch or a router with IGMP functionality. For detailed requirement, please see the criteria below. - Dedicated Non-Blocking switch is preferred in order to prevent congestion from one switch to another when interconnection is needed or applied.
- Gigabit (1000 Mbps) or faster Ethernet ports is recommended
- Support IGMP v2 or v3 snooping (Multicast)
- Supports IGMP Querier
- Multicast routing switch is needed for different IP segments
- High bandwidth connections between switches, preferably by fiber channel
- Check the throughput of the switch and ensure the up and downstream data speed of each port is 1 Gigabit per second
- Using switches from the same manufacturers throughout the entire installation to meet the best compatibility and to prevent the incompatibility, if possible
