What is the recommended action regarding Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) on a Dante network?

Disabling Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) on a Dante network is recommended to ensure stable and uninterrupted data transmission. EEE is designed to reduce power consumption by putting network interfaces into a low-power state during periods of inactivity. However, this power-saving feature can introduce latency when waking the device back up, which may lead to temporary interruptions in audio data transmission.

In a Dante network, consistent and reliable delivery of audio data is crucial as it involves real-time streaming. Any delay or interruption in data flow can result in dropouts or glitches in the audio signal, which compromise the overall performance and reliability of the network. Thus, disabling EEE ensures that devices remain fully operational and prepared to handle data packets without unnecessary delays, ensuring the integrity and quality of the audio transmission.
