Redundancy for streaming data in audio video bridging networks
First Claim
1. A method for computer networking, the method comprising:
- in an audio video bridging network, reserving a plurality of network resources over a plurality of network paths having individual audio video bridging switches, wherein the reserving of network resources includes reserving resources of the individual audio video bridging switches for respective data streams; and
transmitting data streams over the network paths utilizing the reserved network resources to a plurality of ports in a device, wherein each one of the data streams is transmitted to a respective one of the ports via a respective one of the audio video bridging switches, wherein the data streams comprise a data stream of media content and a supplemental redundant data stream of the same media content.

Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for implementing redundancy for streaming data in audio video bridging networks are provided. Network resources may be reserved over a plurality of network paths. Reserved resources may be utilized for the transmission and/or reception of a corresponding plurality of data streams, wherein one or more of the streams may comprise redundant data. A plurality of data streams may be transmitted and/or received by a plurality of network interface hardware devices. Similarly, a plurality of data streams may be transmitted and/or received by a plurality of ports integrated into a single network interface hardware device. Each of the plurality of data streams may be assigned a unique identifier and the identifier of a first data stream may differ by one bit from an identifier of a data stream comprising data redundant to the first data stream.

21. A method, comprising:
-
reserving, using a first device in an audio video bridging network, a plurality of resources in the audio video bridging network, wherein the reserving of resources includes reserving resources of a first audio video bridging switch for a data stream of media content and a second audio video bridging switch for a supplemental redundant data stream of the same media content; transmitting, using the first device in the audio video bridging network, the data stream of media content to a first port in a second device via the first audio video bridging switch in the audio video bridging network using at least a portion of the reserved resources; and transmitting, using the first device in the audio video bridging network, the supplemental redundant data stream of the same media content to a second port in the second device via the second audio video bridging switch in the audio video bridging network using at least a portion of the reserved resources.
