AVB / SYSTEM FOR MANAGING AUDIO/VIDEO STREAMS USING APPLICATION LAYER STRUCTURES IN AN AVB NETWORK

摘要

Systems including talkers, listeners, and controllers can communicate over an Ethernet audio / video bridging network. The controller may communicate control messages to manage data streams between the talker and listener through one or more application layer interfaces of the talker and listener. Based on the control messages, the talker and listener can communicate using the stream reservation protocol to reserve a connection to the data streams or to remove the connection from the data streams. The talker and listener can communicate the success of reserving or removing connections to the controller via application layer interfaces.
