I suppose for useful Dante latency numbers in a given situation, you would need to specify the device or software at either end of the Dante link.

The DANTE network latency is determined by
a) The DANTE hardware boards present in the same DANTE Network-Adress-Space
b) The Router used
c) The device with the highest latency compared to the other devices determines the latency that all devices will adjust to
Example:
Board 1: 250 µs
Borad 2: 250 µs
Board 3: 500 µs
Board 4: 1 ms
--> Negotiated Network Latency Devices: 1 ms
I currently run:
• RedNet PCIeR Dante PCIe-Card: 250 µs
• Aurora(n) Dante: 250 µs
• Cisco SG350-P Switch
For the switch I have no number in memory, but it - of course adds some processing latency - but compared to the 250 µs negligible.
PCIe-Cards provide the lowest device latency currently possible and help to use lower buffer sizes in the DAW or higher samplerates.
I am testing live setup with 192k and it does do well even on a 10 year old Xeon. Would only be Ableton Lives Audio Engine enhanced in efficiency - Version 11 is a disappointment here, especially compared to LPX 10.5 and 10.6 and REAPER.
