What is the minimum requirement for switches in a Dante network?

While Gigabit switches are recommended, 100Mbps switches may be used in limited scenarios.

• For low channel count (<32) applications, a 100Mbps switch may be used as long as it supports proper QoS, and QoS is active. The use of 100Mbps switches without QoS is not recommended or supported.
• For higher channel counts, Gigabit switches are essential. QoS is recommended for Gigabit switches on networks that share data with services other than Dante.
