    Why Shaping Traffic at the Sender is Important Whitepaper —by Chuck Meyer, Chief Technical Officer, Production, (GVB-1-0657B-EN-WP) File size: 1.3 MB, posted Mar 05 2019
    To manage this risk in advance, broadcasters should consider how the buffers in the switch work and ensure that data senders behave in such a way that the buffers never become too full. This practice is known as sender traffic shaping. To ensure pre-compensating for this adverse effect is efficiently applied to IP, broadcasters must follow one rule: the network must be designed and managed for the desired traffic load.

    Shaping sender traffic is important for system reliability, and it is equally important to consider its impact for low latency and jitter in live production systems. To ensure the optimal workflow and performance, use the proposed SMPTE 2110-21 standard as a way to design the system, and then verify this, as well as system performance requirements, with your router vendor.
    Building an IP Fabric with Cisco Products Whitepaper —by Chris Merrill, Senior Product Manager Infrastructure, Strategic Marketing Alexandre Gagne, Senior Product Manager, Monitoring & Control, Strategic Marketing, (GVB-1-0620D-EN-WP) File size: 1.2 MB, posted Mar 05 2019
    Cisco's IP fabric for media solution replaces what previously was the crosspoint section of an SDI router in live production studios with an IP-based infrastructure. The Cisco Nexus 9200/9300-EX platform switches in conjunction with the Cisco non-blocking multicast (NBM) algorithm (an intelligent traffic management algorithm) provide a reliable, scalable IP fabric for the broadcast industry. In addition, this IP fabric solution provides zero-drop multicast transport and support for PTP media profiles.
