Listener
An AVB endpoint capable of receiving one or more streams from the network.
Multiple Stream Reservation Protocol (MSRP)
Allows various devices to communicate their network resource requirements
(from a stream talker to a stream listener) for their audio and video streams.
Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP)
A standards-based Layer 2 network protocol, for automatic configuration of
VLAN information on switches. Without using MVRP, either a manual configuration
of VLAN trunks or use of a manufacturer’s proprietary method is necessary.
Port VLAN ID (PVID)
A default VLAN ID that is assigned to an Ethernet bridge/switch access port to
designate the virtual LAN segment to which this port is connected. The PVID
places the port into the set of ports that are connected under the
designated VLAN ID. Also, if a trunk port has not been configured with any
VLAN memberships, the virtual switch’s PVID becomes the default VLAN ID for
the port connection.
Stream
A virtual container, identified by a unique 64-bit value, of one or more AVB data
channels sent from a talker to one or more listeners.
Traffic Shaping
A process performed by talkers and a bridge/switch to “smooth” out the traffic
for a stream, distributing its packets evenly in time. Stops bursts of AVB data
that can overwhelm the buffers in subsequent bridges/switches.
Pilot Stream
Method used by some manufacturers to facilitate audio synchronization. Tesira
uses a separate pilot stream currently for inter-device synchronization of AVB
traffic. 1722.1 will be used to define rules around inter-device compatibility.
