Fabric

Fabric is a preconfigured network switch that works with RenderStream or ST 2110 video if using IP-VFC, and is sold by Disguise.

RenderStream remote mode requires a high-bandwidth network to connect the dedicated render node(s) to the VX and/or GX range media server(s) being used to composite and output the content. We have standardised on Mellanox ConnectX-5 (25GbE) or ConnectX-6 (100GbE) network inteface cards (NICs) on our products. This is because they support Rivermax, which we use to enable RenderStream Uncompressed.

Fabric Configuration

IGMP snooping is enabled on the required network ports used to connect to the RX nodes. This is used to manage and control the flow of Layer 3 multicast traffic.

RDMA over Converged Ethernet version 2 (RoCEv2) is supported on the Fabric network switch for lossless mode. Quality of Service (QoS) is also maintained to priorities media streams over control traffic.

Default Port Configuration

Port 1 is configured to 1GbE so that it can be connected to a PTP grandmaster. Ports 2 - 16 are configured to 100GbE.

Optional 25GbE port configuration

Port 1 is configured to 1GbE so that it can be connected to a PTP grandmaster. Ports 2 - 8 are configured to 100GbE. Ports 9 - 16 are configured to 25GbE using quad-split.
