Ethernet Switch Selection for a Distributed CCTV System

[McJannet 0]

Good Day CCTVer's

 

I've just come across a nice PowerPoint presentation on one of our supplier's websites that looks at the bandwidth minimizing effect of the L2 Switch with IGMP Snooping. These switches are used at the CCTV system edge to manage CCTV multicast traffic, they effectively reduce backbone traffic by sending the video multicast only to the virtual matrix (es) that are viewing the particular camera.

Hope you find this interesting.

I must say I was hoping to be able to get that presentation, do you have another link for that, it becomes increasingly hard to explain the cost benefits to end users of using network equipment that can support Multicasting Packets

Hmmm ...

 

Link doesn't work ....

 

But you can go to the web page and click on the Tutorial hyperlink at the bottom which will then bring up the power point.

 

Sorry about that.
