Glossary of Terms
Unicast Bundle
A unicast bundle supports a one-to-one routing of audio on the network. Ethernet unicast
addressing is used to deliver a unicast bundle. Because unicast addressing is friendly to
Ethernet switches, unicast bundles should be used for audio delivery whenever possible.
Unregulated Traffic
Refers to any data transmitted onto a network by non-CobraNet devices. Unregulated
traffic is particularly offensive on a repeater network as it interferes with CobraNet's
collision avoidance mechanism and can result in audio dropouts. On a switched network,
unregulated traffic is only a problem if it appears in such copious quantity as to overload
the network.
