I'm not familiar with the details, yet, but my understanding is that
the Axia Livewire system uses RTP and QOS routing to address these
concerns. Basically RTP is designed for real time media and Quality of
Service is used to ensure that the RTP traffic has priority over other
protocols.

I have also been searching for a solution to IP
audio tranport
mechanisms (over ethernet) as well, but have only found cobranet and
ethersound as Dan mentioned, both of which appear to be propietary
formats. I experimented with using jack.udp a while back, but it seems
like it would hardly be sufficient for transferring multiple channels of
audio (say 16 like cobranet). Perhapse the linux community can start to
develop and open-source set of standards that could be used for
transporting uncompressed audio over ethernet, perhaps using regular
ethernet adapters?
Could we write a protocol for transporting audio that wouldn't get
bogged down by traffic from other protocols, or would this even be a
problem (I'm still learning about how IP works...)
probably not at this sort
of performance level, besides there just is not that
much spare bandwidth!
