106 TYPE R Radio Production System AoIP Network Examples
Leaf and Spline Architecture
When scaling up, additional spine switches can be added. “Leaf and spine” topology is common for large scale media networks.
“Leaf” switches provide connections to end-points and are interconnected by spine switches. Each leaf needs a connection to each
spine.
The following diagram shows the architecture of a Leaf and Spline network.
Switch Choice
Small AoIP dedicated networks with very low audio channel counts can use low cost switches, but almost all AES67 broadcast
networks should use PTPv2 (IEEE1588-2008) aware switches to guarantee timing.
