35、 of the standard are responsible for determining appropriate safety, security, environmental, and healthpractices or regulatory requirements.This IEEE document is made available for use subject to important notices and legal disclaimers.

Overview1.1 ScopeThis standard defines profiles that s
37、elect features, options, configurations, defaults, protocols and proceduresof bridges, stations and LANs that are necessary to build networks that are capable of transporting timesensitive audio and/or video data streams.1.2 PurposeThe purpose of this standard is to specify defaults and profiles tha
38、t manufacturers of LAN equipment canuse to develop AVB-compatible LAN components, and to enable a person not skilled in networking to builda network, using those components, that does not require configuration to provide working audio and/orvideo services.1.3 IntroductionThe successful support of ti
39、me sensitive audio and/or video data streams in a Bridged LAN requires theselection of specific features and options that are specified in a number of different standards, some of whichare standards developed in IEEE 802, and others (in particular, those that relate to functionality in OSI layer3 an
40、d above ISO/IEC 7498-1:1994 B3) that are developed by other bodies. In this standard, it is theselection of features and options that support OSI layer 1 and 2 LAN functionality that is of interest, in orderto specify the requirements for LAN support both in Bridges and the end stations that attach
41、to them.The standards from which features and options are selected by this standard are as follows:a) The VLAN Bridge specification in IEEE Std 802.1Q.IEEE Std 802.1BA-2011 LOCAL AND METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORKS2 Copyright 2011 IEEE. All rights reserved.b) The time synchronization standard, IEEE Std 8
42、02.1AS.c) The MAC and PHY standards specified for the various LAN MAC/PHY technologies, such as IEEEStd 802.3, IEEE Std 802.11, ITU-T G.9960 and ITU-T G.9961 (Powerline), and MoCA.These features and options are selected by means of the profiles described in Clause 7. These profilessupport specific f
43、unctions within an AVB network, such as the Bridges and LAN technologies used to carrythe AV streams, and the end stations that attach to the LAN and that provide the source(s) and thedestination(s) of the stream data.In some cases, there are functions that are needed in order to construct a usable
44、AVB network, but that arenot described in any other standard. In those cases, the technical specification is included in Clause 6 of thisstandard, along with a statement of the conformance requirements associated with the function, so that thefunction can be referenced by a profile in the same way a
45、s functions defined in any other standard.Clause 5 introduces the architecture for AVB systems and AVB networks, and some of the terminology usedin describing them.1.4 ObjectivesThe architecture described in Clause 5, the AVB functions specified in Clause 6, and the profiles specified inClause 7, ar
46、e intended to meet the following objectives:a) Describe the components that can be combined to form an AVB network (i.e., a network whosecomponents cooperate and interoperate to allow the transmission of AV streams) and how thosecomponents can be combined.b) Describe some of the consequences and lim
47、itations for AVB streaming that result from theincorporation of non-AV capable devices in an AVB network.c) Define additional functions that are required for AVB operation that are not otherwise documentedin contributing standards.d) Provide guidance in terms of meeting the end-to-end latency requir
48、ements for successful AVBoperation.e) Define conformance requirements for AVB systems, in terms of the standards to which conformanceis required for the various system components and the optional features of those standards that arerequired to be implemented. These conformance requirements address t
49、he guaranteed delivery, end-to-end latency, and time synchronization requirements for successful AVB operation.AUDIO VIDEO BRIDGING (AVB) SYSTEMS IEEE Std 802.1BA-2011Copyright 2011 IEEE.
