LOLA: Low Latency Audio Visual Streaming System
the Intel NICs described at chapter 2.8. Network Interface Cards (NICs) performances.
F.6 Network Configuration on the same Virtual LAN
If both LOLA systems are on the same Virtual LAN (VLAN), for example a GigaEthernet Circuit
with IP addresses in the same subnet, the current LOLA IP packet generation engine can behave not correctly
and you might have the systems to connect correctly, but no audio or video or both streaming flow among
them. You can see this in the Network Monitor panel, where the counters do not increase.
While a fix is in progress, a workaround to this problem is to configure the systems (PCs) Network
Connection Control Panel in a way that the “Gateway” IP address of one PC is set to the IP address of the
other PC (and the same on the other side).
If system “A” has
IP: 140.2.1.10 mask 255.255.255.0
and system “B” has
IP: 140.2.1.20 mask 255.255.255.0
then the full system “A” configuration shall be:
IP: 140.2.1.10 mask 255.255.255.0 GW: 140.2.1.20
and the full system “B” configuration shall be:
IP: 140.2.1.20 mask 255.255.255.0 GW: 140.2.1.10
