Abstract

Aspects of a method and system for managing network resources in audio / video bridging enabled networks are provided. In this regard, network resources reserved via AVB may be allocated for administrative and / or control traffic. Additionally, administrative and / or control data may be assigned highest priority for routing in the network. In this regard, priority of traffic may be determined via one or more bits of a VLAN tag associated with the traffic. For each AVB stream registered in the network, there may be a corresponding portion of the reserved network resources allocated for administrative and / or control data. The portion of reserved network resources allocated for administrative and / or control data may be based on past, present, or expected network statistics. Portions of the reserved resources not allocated for administrative and / or control data may be utilized for communicating one or more multimedia streams. In this regard, the unallocated resources may be distributed amongst the one or more multimedia streams. Allocating reserved resources for administrative and / or control traffic may ensure reliable communication of the administrative and / or control traffic, by preventing one or more multimedia streams from monopolizing network resources.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS / INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

[0001] This patent application makes reference to, claims priority to and claims benefit from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60917870 filed on May 14, 2007.

[0002] The above stated application is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Certain embodiments of the invention relate to networking. More specifically, certain embodiments of the invention relate to a method and system for managing network resources in audio / video bridging (AVB) enabled networks.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The generation and rendering of high end graphics often involves the movement of large quantities of data. Frequently the data is stored in a server, from which it may be accessed by users at computer workstations via a network. Once the data is received at the computer workstation, the graphics may be displayed on an attached video monitor. In many cases the video monitor is physi...
