From what I read, NetJack sends audio buffers with
UDP.
Though, I think you are right it is actually better to make sure all cables are able to
handle as much data as needed. The switch itself is a GREENnet (5 ports, 10 GB/s max
according to seller). Though, as you pointed out, some of the bandwidth might be occupied
by some other processes (I think I kept internet plugged to the switch, which might be
something to remove to maximize audio "priority").
It is very interesting to have this talk anyway, since I am very interested in the
capabilities of audio over ethernet, though I'm not a network expert. I didn't
heard about AVB before, and I'm very curious to know if there are some open-source
implementations of these protocols for multichannel/multidirectional audio ?

If you are using 192K sample rate, 32 bits, 32 channels is a 197Mhz bandwidth. It is not
that low. Correct me if I am wrong, netjack is TCP/IP, not AVB? transmiting at 20% of the
maximum is subject to some care as the TCP/IP does not have clean priority management. Are
you using the switch for other computers? do you send more data (especially when connect
and siconnect)? is it a cheap switch (which run as "store and forward")?
If you are ready to sacrify a cable (or buy the sortest in the same serie), cut it and
check if the pairs are separated by a metalic sheet to each other (+ the general rfi
propection). Crosstalks can generate retries.

The connection was made with GB ethernet switch (though, I'm not completely sure of
the speed of RJ45 cables I used), so I don't think it's a bandwith limitation.
It was fixed my setting latency to 1 (instead of 5 by default).

What is the bit depth and sample rate? What is the nature of the network
connection you are using? If you are using an older WiFi or USB 2.0
network adapter, you might be hitting network bandwidth limitations.

Sorry, I thought about testing this after sending the
mail : finally
tested same configuration locally (connecting 32 channels from a
software to Reaper on the same machine) and it works fine. Totally
NetJack related it seems. Any idea on how to improve/configure ?
Thanks

Dear list,
I'm doing some experiments to use Jack and NetJack to connect several
machines. Here I'm using two Linux machines : a debian as client and
mint 20 as server (sorry I'm not confortable with the "master"
"slave"
keywords in this context).
I'm sending 32 channels from client to server. By the way, this works
great and is very intuitive.
Though, for some reason, when I connect these inputs to something
(here to Reaper), audio is great until I connect the 26th input to
Reaper. Then it starts glitching (sounds like interruption) and gets
worst if I keep increasing the number of connections. If I remove
connections to keep it less than 26, it sounds ok. Never had this
problem before.
Is it likely related to NetJack ? Or does it sounds like a pure Jack
issue ?
Thanks for any help or advice
Regards
