The maximal bandwidth of the device exceeds 250 Mb/s. For this reason connection is done via Gigabit Ethernet interface. Ethernet switches should support IGMP snooping to avoid overloading clients' Ethernet interfaces with multicast traffic (e.g., Cisco Catalyst 2950T-48 fully meets this requirement).

IP set-top boxes and personal computers are connected via FastEthernet interface (100 Mb/s). This is enough to provide multimedia content in High Definition.
