AudioVideoBridging — Apple framework reference

AudioVideoBridging implements the IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging standards, providing time-synchronized, low-latency streaming of audio and video over Ethernet networks on macOS. You work with Ethernet interfaces through AVBCentralManager, AVBInterface, and AVBEthernetInterface, and identify endpoints using AVBMACAddress and AVBIPAddress. To discover and control AVB entities, you use the IEEE 1722.1 protocol classes for entity discovery (AVB17221EntityDiscovery and AVB17221Entity), enumeration control (AVB17221AECPMessage and its subtypes), and connection management (AVB17221ACMPMessage and AVB17221ACMPInterface), implementing delegates and clients such as AVB17221EntityDiscoveryDelegate, AVB17221AECPClient, and AVB17221ACMPClient to respond to network events.
