AI SKILL

AoIP Bandwidth

Helps an AI assistant list the flows, compute payload and on-the-wire bandwidth with a tested script, sum them per link and keep a sensible margin.

What it does

Give it channels, sample rate, bit depth and packet time. It does the arithmetic.

  • Payload and wire. Sample rate times bits times channels, plus Ethernet, IP, UDP and RTP overhead.
  • Per link totals. Sums flows per link and counts multicast where it is forwarded.
  • Margin. Checks the packet fits the MTU and keeps headroom for clock and control traffic.

Where it helps

For sizing trunks and switches for Dante, AES67 or RAVENNA. It is a generic RTP/UDP model: native Dante and other vendors differ, so use the vendor's figures for real networks.

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.
