Managed Routing in Ethernet Networks
Connecting the Real-Time Broadcast and IT Worlds
Jeff Levie, Chief Technical Officer, Utah Scientific
The last few years have seen a continual increase in the use of IT-based equipment in the broadcast industry. The industry transformation to what is essentially a hybrid broadcast/IT infrastructure has presented some challenges. Most notable has been the issue of how to realize real-time switching on a not-necessarily-real-time IT network. An IP network is often viewed as an inflexible, unmanageable environment that has to be lived with. Or does it? After a review of some of the challenges with current systems, we'll have a look at a method for managing a Gigabit Ethernet Router that gives the user real-time control over a number of parameters that can be adjusted to optimize the performance of the network. Note: Please sign up here for security clearance before Monday March 8 at noon to access the Turner Campus.
