IEEE Publishes First Audio Video Bridging (AVB) Standard
BEAVERTON, Ore. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The AVnu Alliance is pleased to announce that the IEEE has ratified and
published IEEE 802.1Qav, the first of the core Audio/Video Bridging
(AVB) standards. IEEE 802.1Qav defines forwarding and queuing for time
sensitive streams and is part of a suite of standards developed by the
IEEE 802.1 AVB task group. AVnu Alliance, a group of industry leading
companies dedicated to promoting the emerging AVB networking standards
across a broad range of markets including automotive, consumer
electronics, and professional A/V, commend the IEEE 802.1 AVB Task Group
for their hard work.
"We are pleased by the progress of the IEEE in completing the first of
the foundational AVB standards," states Rick Kreifeldt, AVnu Alliance
chairman and president. "With IEEE 802.1Qav published and two additional
standards nearing completion, AVnu has the confidence to move quickly in
developing our AVB compliance and interoperability programs which are
vital for widespread commercial adoption."
"The approval of IEEE 802.1Qav as a full standard is a major milestone
in the development of interoperable time-sensitive networks, as it is
the first time the core technology of Ethernet switches and network
bridges has specific methods defined for traffic shaping. This allows an
IEEE 802 network to provide assured (and low) delays for streaming data
with minimal dropped packets," states Michael Johas Teener, Chair of the
IEEE AVB Task Group. "When combined with the almost-finished 802.1Qat
Stream Reservation Protocol," continues Teener, "IEEE 802.1Qav will be
the fundamental toolkit to provide the kind of virtual plumbing needed
for professional-quality audio/video networking."
Tony Jeffree, IEEE 802.1 Chair, further comments, "The approval of IEEE
Std 802.1Qav marks a significant milestone as it is the first of four
802.1 standards under development in IEEE 802 that support audio and
video applications over local area networking technologies."
