VERSION!)
Question: How does precision time protocol (PTP) work in
Dante devices?
Answer : The clock leader distributes a very accurate date-time
reference. Each follower derives the required sample rate or frame rate from this leader.
Question: What is the golden rule for commissioning redundant
networks?
Answer : Work on one network at a time, verify that devices are
not set to switched mode
Question: How much switching capacity is needed for a switch
with 10 1 Gbps ports?
Answer : 20 Gbps-10 Gbps both ways on each port
Question: When would be a good time to consider engaging
QoS?
Answer : Whenever 100 Mbps Dante devices are on the
network
- | P a g e
When ports begin to approach saturation, around 60-80% When we have traffic on a converged network, so there is something to de-prioritize
Question: How many switches should be IGMP querier?
Answer : Only one
Question: DSCP values range from 0-63. What is that used for
in QoS?
Answer : When configuring the switch, you can determine
which DSCP values will lead to which queue.
Question: How can you monitor Dante traffic performance?
Answer : Dante controller latency screen-shows packet arrival
times. Counts as a late packet if it doesn't make it within the latency window.
Question: When should IGMP snooping or any multicast
management be considered for a Dante network?
Answer : When the estimated multicast bandwidth may
approach a network ports saturation point, impacting performance.

Question: TCP vs UDP
Answer : TCP: A connection with delivery verification. Good for general internet traffic where dropped packets are likely.
UDP: One way transmission with no delivery verification.
Suitable for LANs where traffic is under your control and interruptions are unlikely. Preferred for real time networks for lower overhead and lower latency.
Question: What happens when a multicast packet is sent on an
unmanaged network?
Answer : The multicast packet will propagate to every port on
the network-will behave similarly to broadcast.
Question: What is a converged network?
Answer : A network that carries multiple and possibly unrelated
data types (such as internet, VoIP, Dante, etc.).
Question: Describe a broadcast network transmission
Answer : A broadcast message transmits from one device to
everyone on the network.
Question: Is queue number priority low to high or high to low?
Answer : High to low number (higher numbers have highest
priority)

Question: Multicast vs broadcast vs unicast
Answer : multicast: one to many, with IGMP snooping
unicast: one to one
Broadcast: one to all
Question: What setting in Dante controller must be checked off
if a device is chasing an external clock?
Answer : external clock checkbox
Question: Which is the most influential factor when deciding
which device you want to be clock leader (if not following automatic process)?
Answer : Preferred leader checked
Question: Is unicast or multicast the default behavior for Dante?
Answer : unicast
Question: When a Dante preset is saved, where is the
information kept?
Answer : In an XML formatted text file. Can be shared to other
users.
