Audio Video Bridging
Audio Video Bridging (AVB) is a common name for a set of technical standards that provide improved synchronization, low latency, and reliability for switched Ethernet networks. AVB embodies the following technologies and standards: IEEE 802.1AS-2011: Timing and Synchronization for Time-Sensitive Applications (gPTP); IEEE 802.1Qav-2009: Forwarding and Queuing for Time-Sensitive Streams (FQTSS); IEEE 802.1Qat-2010: Stream Reservation Protocol (SRP); IEEE 802.1BA-2011: Audio Video Bridging (AVB) Systems; IEEE 1722-2011 Layer 2 Transport Protocol for Time-Sensitive Applications (AV Transport Protocol, AVTP); and IEEE 1722.1-2013 Device Discovery, Enumeration, Connection Management and Control Protocol (AVDECC).
