AVB provides a huge step forward for transporting audio/visual content, and provides a means for replacing the diverse varieties of point-to-point connectors with a single, extensible network. For professional uses, it provides deterministic low latency and low jitter. Unlike proprietary A/V networking solutions, which are typically focused on a single industry, the AVB standards were developed by IEEE as an evolution of Ethernet, making it applicable to pro audio, consumer, and automotive industries, to name a few.
