Open Audio Network is a L2 protocol designed to transport audio, control, clock sync and discovery. It is designed to be used with standard IT equipment and technically allows N*N bidirectional audio streams over Ethernet while keeping real-time properties with low latency and low jitter in mind.
- Node auto-discovery and network mapping
- Shared compute resources allocation over the network
- Clock syncing using PTP based protocol
- Control data transport between the nodes
- No IP stack needed for operation. Any raw Ethernet frame capable device can integrate the protocol
