Software Defined Video-over-Ethernet

Software Defined Video-over-Ethernet (SDVoE) is a software-based AV-over-IP platform that provides solutions for point-to-point connectivity and Ethernet-based audio visual (AV) distribution. The technology and solution offer cost effective, flexible hardware and software platforms which can support many AV applications. SDVoE provides standardization and interoperability among the ecosystem partner products to enable great AV user experiences. RUCKUS ICX switches are certified to be part of this solution and allow efficient switching of AV multicast traffic.

Standalone Topology

Configuration Notes

  • ICX standalone topology is supported in FastIron 08.0.95 and later releases.
  • RUCKUS recommends that IGMPv2 configuration should be used for v2 hosts and IGMPv3 for v3 hosts for optimal performance. Using IGMPv3 with tracking with a v2 host does not give the desired result.
  • With IGMPv3 tracking, only non-SSM groups using exclude mode for join is supported.
