    Streaming Capabilities and System Scalability The following tables detail the streaming capabilities of the SME 100. Data for the tables was obtained through laboratory testing using optimal bandwidth conditions and can vary depending on the selected video bit rate. Testing to determine the approximate maximum number of pull streams was done independently from the push stream testing.

  • Page 171: Available Multicast Streams

    Available Multicast Streams The SME 100 uses the IGMP multicast protocol to push or pull streams. The IGMP multicast protocol provides increased bandwidth efficiency because the SME 100 will only send data when a connection is made by the user. All network switches and routing equipment must be properly configured to support IGMP snooping and IGMP query to avoid flooding all endpoints with unnecessary streaming traffic.

  • Page 172: Ip Addressing

    IP Addressing What is an IP Address? A full explanation of IP addressing is beyond the scope of this user guide. However, the following information is enough to get started. An IP address is a 32-bit binary number that is used to identify each device on an Ethernet network.

  • Page 173: Subnet Mask

    Subnet Mask The subnet mask is a 32-bit binary number used to "mask" certain bits of the IP address. and extends the number of network options available for the IP address. The subnet mask does this by allowing part of the host identifier to be used as a subnetwork identifier. It is important that the correct value is used for the subnet mask.

    The table below shows an example of a valid class C addressing scheme. Device IP Address Subnet Mask Device 1 208.132.180.41 255.255.255.0 Device 2 208.132.180.42 255.255.255.0 Device 3 208.132.180.43 255.255.255.0 NOTE: The host identifiers ( , and in the example above) do not need to be in sequential or in any particular order.
