No connection management protocol is defined for multicast connections.ĪES67 uses IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol (PTPv2) for clock synchronisation.įor standard networking equipment, AES67 defines configuration parameters for a "PTP profile for media applications", based on IEEE 1588 delay request-response sync and (optionally) peer-to-peer sync (IEEE 1588 Annexes J.3 and J4) event messages are encapsulated in IPv4 packets over UDP transport (IEEE 1588 Annex D).

Session Initiation Protocol is used for unicast connection management. The standard calls out several protocol options for device discovery but does not require any to be implemented. AES67 also defines audio sample format and sample rate, supported number of channels, as well as IP data packet size and latency/buffering requirements. Since its publication, AES67 has been implemented independently by several manufacturers and adopted by many others.ĪES67 defines requirements for synchronizing clocks, setting QoS priorities for media traffic, and initiating media streams with standard protocols from the Internet protocol suite. It also provides interoperability with layer 2 technologies, like Audio Video Bridging (AVB). It is a layer 3 protocol suite based on existing standards and is designed to allow interoperability between various IP-based audio networking systems such as RAVENNA, Livewire, Q-LAN and Dante.ĪES67 promises interoperability between previously competing networked audio systems and long-term network interoperation between systems. The standard was developed by the Audio Engineering Society and first published in September 2013.
