Ahh, i was misunderstanding. I was under the impression that i could just put an extra 2 ethernet ports into my computer, install the kernel drivers and libraries (when they're available)  and have an operational Ravenna input/output.  However, if it needs a wordclock then it obviously needs a card. I had thought that the 'wordclock' was part of the data packet.

Has anyone encountered any work on this?

How powerful of a computer would be required for a software based
solution to be able to keep up with a (expensive for now) ravenna
card, if one wanted full channel count at full data rate?

I understand that it travels over an RJ45 port with standard wiring
(cat 6). I assume one would want an additional dedicated ethernet port
for this.

I'm considering learning C just to take this on.

 there is a driver, but so far as I know not open source. While it is probably possible to make an AES 67 endpoint that will work with one aes 67 box. I do not think a full endpoint that becomes part of the aes b67 network is possible without a hw network clock as the intel i210 ethernet cards have. Concidering the cost of Ravena interfaces.... AVB may be a better bet anyway. There are open drivers for avb... if unfinished. there seem to be some afordable avb audio interfaces around too.

Still, if you have access to a revena interface, go for it.

BTW, the intel i210 cards seem to be cheaper from hp than from intel, or they were when I bought mine. Same card...
