Streaming/FTP network description
The streaming/FTP network is for media transfers and FTP traffic. It must be on a different subnet
than the control network and the media (iSCSI) network. The control network and the streaming/FTP
network may be on the same VLAN. The control network and the media (iSCSI) network must not
be on the same VLAN. Static IP addresses with name resolution via host files are recommended for
the streaming/FTP network. Hostnames of network adapters that are dedicated to the streaming/FTP
network must be aliased in the hosts file with the
_he0 suffix. This directs the streaming traffic to
the correct port.
The streaming/FTP subnet does not carry low-resolution traffic, such as live streaming (multicast)
and proxy file access. That traffic is on the control subnet.
In a GV STRATUS system, if you use generic FTP for archive, the streaming/FTP network carries
the archive traffic. Dedicated connections to the streaming/FTP network are required on the following
GV STRATUS servers:
• Express server
• Core server
• Proxy Encoder
