IEEE 802.1AS
IEEE 802.1AS is a standard that helps devices in a local network synchronize their clocks with high accuracy. This is particularly important for applications like audio and video streaming, where timing is crucial. By ensuring that all devices have a precisely aligned time, it allows for smoother and more reliable communication between them. Essentially, 802.1AS ensures that everyone on the network is "on the same page" time-wise, improving overall performance and enhancing experiences in multimedia applications.
