As a reference, I just tried sending raw 1080p60 BGRA (that should theoretically have 3729 mbps net bandwidth) over my 10G network and according to Windows Task Manager get a 4.1 gbps throughput, so that's what you always have to expect on top of the net values, quite significant difference. The good news is that it's 100% stable here with Beam.
When I started this plugin my only use case was local (named pipe) transmission, but then I just couldn't resist to try it over network and I am happy it really is working. Looking forward to hear about the LACP results.
I tried to open it up at full 1080p59.94 (doing ATSC framerates here) at BGRA. Machines slowed to an abject crawl. Throughput never got faster than 960 or so megabits per second.
However, I'm having better luck with JPEG compression, regardless of color format, though I'm having the best sound sync using NV12+lossy JPEG. I'm having to do some tweaking to make sure I'm not overwhelming the computers. I'm not sure if it's the LACP that's getting overwhelmed or doing the overwhelming, or if it's the encoding of the video before hitting the wires.
As I'd previously noted, I'm running three sixth-gen Core i7s in my array, the Core i7 6700, in two of the setups with LACP, with the third LACP setup running on a Ryzen 7 5800X. They quickly get overwhelmed if I use LZ4 or QOI compression or none at all. Is there any way of telling where things start to go south so I can report on that?
Also a final note, audio channels are in the right places now. Thanks for that fix!
