ung switch ata tlaga may problema when it comes to udp/rtsp streams, nkasaksak ngayon pc ko sa switch and no problem except pag mga video encoders/ip cameras nkalagay sa switch but if nkalagay nman sa main router wlang problema. need ko ng switch kse i have 5 encoders na plano sanang gamitin eh plus pve pa kaya tlagang need ko and gagamitan ko rin kse ng multi wan setup eh
we can't rule that out. unfortunately, mahirap mag-debug ng issue with unmanaged switches. there's not a lot of info on this switch - what switch chip, etc. it could also be a limitation/s of the device. if i had access to one, i'd run a performance test myself.
do note that:
- RTSP can use either UDP or TCP
- network switches (L2) don't care/see RTSP (L4)
maari din na me h/w issue 'yang switch mo mismo. perhaps try to get a replacement if it's under warranty.
the best you can do is to get/buy/borrow another switch and test your use case with that. at least confirm if your setup behaves the same way with another switch. i'm assuming all your devices have gigabit ports? also, when you say you have your pc connected directly to your router, are the other devices also connected? at this point, i cannot rule out the router as the cause of the issue, possibly by just being the bottleneck.
i'd like to check max frame size and buffer allocation per port, but that might not be possible for unmanaged switches unless the manufacturer provides the data.
tbh, i see this as a good opportunity to learn. this (MS108G) and TP-Link TL-SG108E potentially have very similar if not the same innards (specifically the switch chip). but whereas the TP-Link Is specified with a 16Gbps switching fabric and a 1.5Mb packet buffer, the Mercusys has no info on the switching fabric and only a 64KB buffer. The buffer is usually dynamically allocated, so the more active ports you have, the less each port has.
