These are extremely expensive real-time video encoders taking in baseband video and outputting multicast MPEG at a constant bit rate for customer-facing video feeds. Any pauses would be unacceptable, as are dropped packets, unfortunately for this site. hehe I'm engaging our Cisco team on this to have them investigate queueing and buffer issues. I don't think they've looked at that yet. Thanks!
