AVnu promotes the adoption of the IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging(AVB),and the related IEEE 1722 and IEEE 1733,standards over various networking link-layers.The organization works to create compliance test procedures and processes that ensure AVB interoperability of networked A/V devices,helping to provide the highest quality streaming A/V experience.
