The protocol, data encapsulations, and presentation time procedures used to ensure interoperability between audio- and video-based end stations that use standard networking services provided by all IEEE 802 networks meeting quality-of-service requirements for time sensitive applications by leveraging concepts of IEC 61883 are specified in this standard.

This standard specifies the protocol, data encapsulations, and presentation time procedures used to ensure interoperability between audio- and video-based end stations that use standard networking services provided by all IEEE 802 networks meeting quality-of-service requirements for time-sensitive applications by leveraging the concepts of IEC 61883.

This standard will facilitate interoperability between stations that stream time-sensitive audio and/or video across LANs providing time synchronization and latency/bandwidth services by defining the packet format protocols and synchronization mechanisms.
