Network Dropouts

I have wondered if dropouts may be related to network speed issues. All my equipment except an old laptop and the Bridge is gigabit ethernet. I looked for a way to tell my Airport Extreme to limit one port (the one feeding the Bridge) to 100Mbs but that doesn't seem possible. My idea was to prevent any buffer overruns, if the Bridge could not keep up with with what's coming at it from the NAS--although most of the time it can. Has anyone else here looked at problem from this perspective?

Magister,

Never had a problem streaming from the ATOLL but again I don't own it so I really wouldn't say it's a strong recommendation. Let's say a gut feel well worth having a look at !

In your house forget the word GB ethernet. it just gives the infrastructure for GB comms. Let's say it passes the buck to the equipment comms interfaces so you will be clear where your bottlenecks will lie.

Good comms design will not let any buffer overruns occur. The good old send an receive scenario is more valid than ever.

I'll check the distribution situation in US for ATOLL, it's nice kit.
