+===== criticism =====
+good reddit thread with some notable quotes
+latency varies.
+<blockquote>
+AVB is not plug and play on MacOS. It was a few versions ago. Now it’s slightly off-kilter with the implementation found in MOTU’s and RME’s useage. Massive headaches if you pretend it’s as good as Dante’s Virtual Soundcard.\\
+When it works, the AVB virtual device adds about ~15ms of latency. (not unlike DVS)\\
+AVB is very low latency between dedicated devices with specific chipsets. Not computers.\\
+Why does [[https://rme-audio.de/rme-usb-technology.html|RME use USB]]? Because they know what they’re doing.\\

+</blockquote>
+and special switches are a bitch
+<blockquote>
+AVB requires specialised chipsets in switches; which makes it a nightmare. Dante and Ravenna work on most reasonable off the shelf managed switch chipsets - so the economies of scale and simplicity of installation / integration does not lie with AVB.
