Hello all
I a have setup udpcast in a classroom at a Secondary School to
distribute CDs and whole directorie trees, and it works like a charm,
except for a minor nuissance.
Everytime I want to use udpcast I have to disconnect from the 3com-812
router that serves as a gateway.
When I try to send anything with the gateway connected there is an
extremely low transmission with errors el al. As soon as I disconnect
the router the throughput goes up to 70-90 Mbps.
Does anybody have any hint?
Thank you all
Could be that the router is using a link speed of 10 Mbps, or slowing
everything down with flow-control packets.
Several solutions are possible, depending on the switch:
- Try enabling IGMP support if available (so that only those ports
interested in the transmission do get the traffic)
- Try disabling flow control (some switches support this on a per-port
basis... If that is the case, you only need to disable flow control on
the port to which that router is connected)
