Profiling the ST 2110 Network Traffic for Load Testing with Open-Source Tools

As the broadcast industry transitions towards more high-performance IP-based and software workflows, more and more demands are placed on the networks and switching platforms to deliver consistent and predictable performance. Adopting the ST 2110 standard adds another layer of complexity due to its specific timing, synchronization, and bandwidth requirements. Moreover, the typical traffic profile of an ST 2110 system is, in fact, very different from that of the traditional IMIX
