Abstract

Control protocols are used within audio networks to manage both audio streams and networked audio devices. A number of control protocols for audio devices have been recently developed, including the AES standards AES64-2012 and AES70-2015. Despite these developments, an ontology of control protocol design and implementation does not exist. This paper proposes design and implementation heuristics for control protocols. Different categories of control protocol design and implementation heuristics are presented and the implications of individual heuristics are discussed. These heuristics allow the features provided by different control protocols to be compared and evaluated and provide guidelines for future control protocol development.
