IEEE Publishes First Audio Video Bridging (AVB) Standard
IEEE Publishes First Audio Video Bridging (AVB) Standard
BEAVERTON, Ore.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--The AVnu Alliance™ is pleased to announce that the IEEE has ratified and published IEEE 802.1Qav, the first of the core Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) standards. IEEE 802.1Qav defines forwarding and queuing for time sensitive streams and is part of a suite of standards developed by the IEEE 802.1 AVB task group. AVnu Alliance, a group of industry leading companies dedicated to promoting the emerging AVB networking standards across a broad range of markets including automotive, consumer electronics, and professional A/V, commend the IEEE 802.1 AVB Task Group for their hard work.
“We are pleased by the progress of the IEEE in completing the first of the foundational AVB standards”
“We are pleased by the progress of the IEEE in completing the first of the foundational AVB standards,” states Rick Kreifeldt, AVnu Alliance chairman and president. “With IEEE 802.1Qav published and two additional standards nearing completion, AVnu has the confidence to move quickly in developing our AVB compliance and interoperability programs which are vital for widespread commercial adoption.”
"The approval of IEEE 802.1Qav as a full standard is a major milestone in the development of interoperable time-sensitive networks, as it is the first time the core technology of Ethernet switches and network bridges has specific methods defined for traffic shaping. This allows an IEEE 802 network to provide assured (and low) delays for streaming data with minimal dropped packets,” states Michael Johas Teener, Chair of the IEEE AVB Task Group. “When combined with the almost-finished 802.1Qat Stream Reservation Protocol,” continues Teener, “IEEE 802.1Qav will be the fundamental toolkit to provide the kind of virtual plumbing needed for professional-quality audio/video networking."
Tony Jeffree, IEEE 802.1 Chair, further comments, "The approval of IEEE Std 802.1Qav marks a significant milestone as it is the first of four 802.1 standards under development in IEEE 802 that support audio and video applications over local area networking technologies."

One down, three to go ... seriously, this is good. I've been involved with a number of other standards developments (FDDI, FutureBus, NuBus, Firewire, Ethernet), but this has been by far the most cooperative and cohesive group that I've ever worked with.

Help wanted technomarketingbabble ....
If you’re looking for a new role where you’ll focus on one of the biggest issues that is top of mind for KT and Steve B in “Compete”, build a complete left to right understanding of the subsidiary, have a large amount of executive exposure, build and manage the activities of a v-team of 13 district Linux& Open Office Compete Leads, and develop a broad set of marketing skills and report to a management team committed to development and recognized for high WHI this is the position for you!
The Commercial Software Initiative (CSI) Lead plays a pivotal role for the Subsidiary GM, the BG leads and the BMO by building a discipline within the US that is focused on competing against. The core mission of CSI is to win share against Linux and OpenOffice.org by designing and driving marketing programs, changing perceptions, engaging with Open Source communities and organizations, and drive internal readiness on how to compete with Commercial Linux and participate with Open Source Communities.
This is real. Directly copied from a help-wanted ad on Microsoft's web site. Although I sometimes like to pick on Microsoft, this is by no means atypical of the kind of jargon-ridden crap found on internal documents within the IT industry. I've had to review/rewrite a number of docs in my professional life, and when I run across something like this, I refuse to deal with it until it's translated into something approaching English.
(BTW, if they haven't fixed it, you can see the original at https://careers.microsoft.com/JobDetails.aspx?ss=&pg=0&so=&rw=1&jid=9914&jlang=EN )
(... and yes, I know that "BTW" is a kind of technobabble, too.)
