As a (mostly) non-user of Linux, I'm uncertain as to what Jacktrip is used for. Is it to stream data over a network? Or is it to distribute computing between multiple machines? If it is the former, then I'm puzzled. I can easily play a 16-channel file hosted on one machine on my 100 baseT network from another machine on the network. That only takes about 13% of the network bandwidth. I can stream the data for hours without dropping a single sample. I can't report on the ability to stream larger numbers of channels because I don't have the hardware to do it. Or the need, for that matter.

On a standard CAT-5 cable between two adjacent machines I can get four (mono) channels at 48 KHz, but trying to set channels >4 just results in a (very silent) failure to connect. Back of an envelope calculations of audio flux against 100 Mb/s (say 10 MB/s) suggest more should be possible. That said secure copy (scp) of files seems to run at <<100Mb/s. Anyone done better ?
