When do I need to use QoS in a Dante network?

QoS is required when using Dante in networks that have 100 Mbps devices and is

optional in networks with gigabit devices. We recommend that QoS be enabled in all

Dante networks in order to ensure proper operation under all possible conditions.

How does Dante manage QoS?

Dante uses standard Voice over IP (VoIP) Quality of Service (QoS) switch features

to prioritize clock sync and audio traffic over other network traffic. QoS is available

in many inexpensive and enterprise Ethernet switches. Any switch that supports

Diffserv (DSCP) QoS with strict priority and four queues and has gigabit ports for

inter-switch connections should be appropriate for use with Dante.

How does Dante use DSCP / Diffserv priority values when configuring QoS?
