Glossary
Audio Format Payload format of audio data - also known as ‘codec’
Bonjour Apple´s implementation of zeroconf.
DiffServ Differentiated Services - mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic,
prioritization of services (e.g. low-latency traffic)
DSCP The differentiated services code point (DSCP) is a 6-bit field in the IP packet header
that is used for classification purposes. DSCP is part of the differentiated services
architecture.
IGMP Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a communications protocol used by
hosts to report their multicast group memberships to IPv4 routers.
IP Internet Protocol - used to build logical units (subnets) in a network
HTTP Hyper Text Transfer Protocol - data transmission for application layer, e.g. websites
Latency delay introduced by packetizing or buffering - number of samples per frame divided by
sample rate - also known as ‘frame size’
mDNS Multicast DNS - resolves host names to IP addresses, part of zeroconf
Multicast one sender to many receivers
Packet formatted unit of data - consists of control information and user data (payload)
Packet Time The real-time duration of the media data contained in a media packet.
For example, a packet containing 24 samples of 48 kHz audio has a packet time
of 24 ÷ 48 kHz = 500 microseconds.
Short packet times allow for lower latency but introduce overhead and high packet
rates that may overtax some devices or networks. Long packet times imply higher
latency and require additional buffering which may not be available on memory-
constrained devices.
PTP Precision Time Protocol - used to synchronize clocks throughout a network - defined in
IEEE 1588-2008
QoS Quality of Service - overall performance of a network
RTP Real Time Transport Protocol - used for transmission of realtime data
RTCP Real Time Control Protocol - controls quality of transmission and negogiates QoS
