Abstract
A network communication system includes a talker that may communicate a data stream having an optimal presentation time to a plurality of listeners over a network, such as an Ethernet Audio/Video Bridging network. The optimal presentation time may be determined by a maximum latency among a plurality of latencies for connections between the talker and the listeners. A controller may communicate with the listeners to determine the maximum latency. The controller may also provide the maximum latency to the talker and the listeners. The talker may determine the optimal presentation time based on the maximum latency. The listeners may allocate an optimum amount of resources to buffer the data stream before the data in the data stream is presented.
