As RAVENNA uses network connections in order to transport hundreds of realtime audio streams, it will be a good idea to ensure that the rest of computer is managing its other network needs in a way that will not interfere with RAVENNA.

Connecting “Other” networks to the Merging system
...
- This will work fine with a switch that gives out IP addresses as well as if two devices are connected together without a switch.
- If you are using a switch that gives out IP addresses, make sure that it is configured to use a different subnet than any of the other networks you may have connected to the computer.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has directed the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to reserve the following IPv4 address ranges for private networks:
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 / 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 / 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255.
Private IPs should only be in these ranges (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network )
