Data is flooding my network when cameras are being recorded
Greetings,
I apologize if this gets lengthy. I will try to give as much detail as possible.
I am currently running 6.1.0.42176 of DW's variant of NX on three servers.
Server 1 is at our headquarters (Building 1), running on Server 2019 and is currently recording 106 cameras, all at 20 FPS and recording motion only.
Server 2 is at another facility (Building 2), less than a mile away. It is also running on Server 2019 with 144 cameras, all at 20 FPS recording motion only. Building 1 and 2 are connected by a Spectrum EPL capable of 500Mbps up and down.
Server 3 is multiple states away in building 3. This is also a Server 2019 install, with 69 cameras. Building 1 and Building 3 are connected via a site-to-site VPN, both running on 500Mbps fiber.
In the case of buildings 1 and 2, all cameras and servers are segregated in a VLAN, with only camera and NVR traffic on the VLAN. The servers also have an additional network connection connecting them to our Office VLAN.
When I enable recording for Building 2, I see a traffic flood my EPL link, which shouldn't be happening. The server in Building 2 is only recording cameras that are also in Building 2. There are no cameras in any of the other buildings being captured on Server 2. This flood of traffic causes a bottleneck and kills the flow of traffic for everything else.
I'm asking for suggestions on where to look to see why this data is going across the EPL and how I can clean it up.
Thank you

Hello Todd,
I doubt it's Spectrum itself, but rather your cameras, is the traffic multicast packets?
