Ethernet Switch- what's the point?

If you have a fiber connection (rx/tx) before your source, a switch really doesn’t matter that much. 

@tonix Thanks for the help and support.  I'll remember UDP for the next time I need to explain this.  I thought I was the last one to figure this out but this thread shows there are still lots of people who think streaming is bit perfect.    -Jerry

@tonix no, they do not. Qobuz, tidal and others use HTTPS. It is so easy to check, so it is ridiculous that you and other lie about this all the time.

@carlsbad2 you are always wrong, so there is a reason to my disagreement. 
 

since you think that Qobuz and others uses stateless protocols, post a pcap proving your point. 

@fredrik222 - confirmation bias is a two way street. To the extent that it applies, objectivists are just as prone to it as subjectivists.

There is a valid role for empirical observation in science otherwise we'd be stuck at "sun stand thou still upon Gibeon".
