How many actively transmitting devices can exist on a CobraNet network at a time?
There are two limitations on the number of transmitting devices. First there is network bandwidth; you cannot exceed the capabilities of the network. Once the network is fully utilized, you can’t add additional transmitters. This is mainly an issue on a repeater network where 100Mbit of bandwidth is shared network wide. On a switched network there is essentially no limit due to bandwidth considerations as long as unicast bundles are used for audio transport. A second limitation is encountered in the capacity of the conductor and its ability to represent permission for many active transmitters in a maximum length 1500 byte beat packet. The answer to this depends on the number of bundles each device is transmitting. If each device is transmitting one bundle, there may be up to 184 transmitters active simultaneously, producing a total of 184 active bundles. If each device is transmitting a full 4 bundles, only 105 transmitters could be active, though theses would be producing a total of 4
