The AVB Protocol, or Audio Video Bridging Protocol, is a set of standards developed by the IEEE to ensure reliable and synchronized delivery of audio and video data over Ethernet networks. It is particularly useful in professional audio and video applications, where timing and quality are critical. AVB enables low-latency streaming and minimizes data loss, making it ideal for live events and broadcasting. AVB works by creating a time-sensitive network that prioritizes audio and video traffic. It uses mechanisms like time synchronization and traffic shaping to manage data flow efficiently. This ensures that all devices on the network can communicate seamlessly, providing high-quality media experiences without interruptions.
