StagePacket
Preflight an AV-over-IP network with explicit switches, ports, VLANs, streams, redundancy, multicast controls, PoE budgets, utilization, and clock roles.
Focused field tools
Map every endpoint to one physical switch port and reserve uplinks and service ports.
Keep media, control, management, and discovery boundaries explicit across every trunk.
Plan snooping, querier location, group behavior, unknown multicast, and failover deliberately.
Keep sustained production traffic below the chosen ceiling and count bursts and overhead.
Count secondary streams on the links they actually traverse instead of calling them free.
Compare endpoint demand with per-port class, supply budget, thermal derating, and redundancy.
StagePacket is an offline topology and capacity model. Validate switch behavior, multicast controls, clocking, QoS, VLANs, PoE, link utilization, redundancy, firmware, and vendor requirements on the actual managed network before deployment.
