IEEE Standard for a Transport Protocol for Time-Sensitive Applications in Bridged Local Area Networks

Abstract

The protocol, device discovery, connection management, and device-control procedures used to facilitate interoperability between audio- and video-based end stations that use IEEE 1722-based streams on IEEE 802-based networks are specified.

Scope

This standard specifies the protocol, data encapsulations, and synchronization procedures used to enable interoperability between time-sensitive audio, video, and control applications using the quality of service capabilities provided by IEEE 802 Time-Sensitive Networking standards.

Purpose

This standard facilitates interoperability between end stations that transport time-sensitive media across LANs providing time synchronization, latency, and bandwidth services by defining additional packet format protocols, synchronization mechanisms, and diagnostic counters.
