Does my installed ROCK stream my music ( from Tidal/Roon) or ROON Remote does this ?
Roon Remote on 192.168.10.135, ROCK on 192.168.10.105, Ropiee Bridge on 192.168.10.136
Remote is just a remote. All streaming goes through the Roon Server. E.g., Tidal > Roon Server (possibly with application of DSP) > Roon endpoint. (The remote is only involved in streaming if you choose the remote device as the Roon endpoint).
If Rock is the one streaming, how would one account for Zero traffic between the Rock and the Ropiee bridge ? Please reference the screen shot that I have attached. Would appreciate that this is not Flagged as Resolved as this query is deemed as outstanding.
I’d double check how the IP traffic between ROCK and the Ropiee Bridge is being monitored.
I’ve removed the solved flag, pending further comment.
Hello @sohghb,
Thank you for reaching out to Roon support.
From what I can see, your NUC device has ROCK OS installed, which is based on a Linux core. This suggests that the Wireshark screenshot you provided was not captured from the ROCK device.
Could you kindly clarify if you have changed the device where Wireshark is running? Specifically, is it now acting as a gateway for both devices 192.168.10.105 and 192.168.10.136?
In a typical switched network, a PC running Wireshark would not be able to directly capture traffic between the Linux machine (Roon server) and the Ropiee Bridge, unless specific configurations (such as port mirroring) are in place
Typically, on modern Ethernet networks with simple unmanaged switches, traffic between two devices cannot be monitored by a third device. Thus, in order to monitor the traffic between the ROCK server and the Ropieee endpoint, you would need to run software to capture packets on one or other of these devices - which I do not think is possible because of their closed nature (I may be wrong with respect to Ropieee - I’ve never used it and don’t know what, if any, diagnostic capability it has).
Your traffic monitor, running on a third machine, will, in such a network, only be able to capture broadcast packets and packets to or from the machine which is running the traffic monitor.
Thank you Roon Support and the community ( @Wade_Oram, @Carl ) for weighing in on this with respect to the monitoring methodology. This clarifies my query and I will close this out as Resolved. Cheers.
