AoIP Bandwidth Planner

Draw a schematic of your audio network, describe the flows (AES67 calculated from the standard, Dante estimated from Audinate's published figures) and see how much of each link they use, in each direction, against a safety threshold. Primary and secondary networks and redundant Dante flows are covered.

What it does

Draw the network, add the audio flows and see how much load lands on every link, before you build or extend the installation.

  • Draw the network. Devices and switches joined by 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps links, on a diagram you can drag or auto-arrange.
  • AES67, calculated. Bit rate from packet time, channels, sample rate and bit depth, following the published AES67 figures.
  • Dante, estimated. Scaled from Audinate's published figures, because Dante's packet format is not public. Marked as an estimate.
  • Load on every link. Two bars per link, one per direction, with a segment per flow and a tick at your safety threshold (default 70 %).
  • Redundancy. Primary and secondary networks, and redundant Dante flows counted on both.
  • Plans that stay with you. Saved on your device, exported and imported as JSON, with three examples to start from.

Where it helps

For designing or checking an audio-over-IP network before it is built or extended: how many channels fit on a link, whether an uplink is too busy, what redundancy costs. It counts audio traffic only and does not replace a network capture.

Quick start

  1. Open an example, or add your devices and switches.
  2. Add the audio flows and pick their receivers.
  3. Check the load on each link and the summary at the top.
