Abstract: On May 23, 1973, Robert Metcalf and David Boggs, working at the Xerox Research Center, succeeded in sending the first Ethernet(note 1) bit stream across their laboratory. Using packetized data ‘words’ with collision detection and retransmission, this was a dramatic improvement in computer network protocols. However, Xerox eventually abandoned their bid to manufacture computers and computer networks and gave Ethernet networking to the IEEE, where it became the open standard which now dominates the computer networking world. One group of potential customers, those involved with professional audio and video, found standard Ethernet difficult or impossible to use. Many of them modified Ethernet, producing proprietary versions to carry audio and video bit streams. Recently, IEEE has released a new version of the Ethernet standard, IEEE 802.1 AVB (Audio and Video Bridging), to address the requirements for professional audio and video. This paper will outline the shortcomings of standard Ethernet and the changes and advantages in this new standard
