AI SKILL

AoIP Bandwidth Planner Guide

Teaches an AI assistant to help you plan a Dante or AES67 network with the app: nodes and links, primary and secondary networks, flows with the AES67 or Dante model, packet time, IGMP snooping, the safety threshold and how to read the result.

What it does

Describe your devices, switches and flows, or the link that turns red.

  • Draw and size. Devices, switches, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps links, redundancy drawn as two networks.
  • Flows. Unicast and multicast, channels, rate and depth, AES67 packet time, Dante estimates.
  • Reading the bars. Two directions per link, the safety threshold, amber and red, link details.

Where it helps

For anyone sizing audio over IP. It follows the manual of version 2026.10.1: it counts audio traffic only and Dante figures are estimates; it does not replace a network capture.

How to use it

  1. Add the skill folder to Claude as a Skill, or open the universal prompt file and paste it into ChatGPT, Gemini or any assistant (custom GPT, Gem, system prompt, or the start of a chat).
  2. Describe your problem in your own words. The skill asks the few questions that change the answer.
  3. Check the answer against your equipment manuals and, where it matters, a measurement.

Limits

A skill makes an AI assistant more careful, not infallible. It cannot see your equipment, it can be wrong, and standards and platforms change. Every skill lists its sources and what it does not know, and shows whether a person has validated it. Mains power, RF power and structural work always need a qualified person.
