IS 06

What is it?

AMWA NMOS IS-06 is an API presented by network controllers in order to permit control of the network by broadcast controllers. The broadcast controller is the overall policy control point for all media endpoints and sessions. The network controller abstracts the details of the network from the broadcast controller and provides an API for all required network services.

IS-06 provides the capability to register media endpoints and to discover the topology of the network which connects them together, including network switches and their interconnects. The API then provides the means to authorise network flows to pass between sets of endpoints, with defined bandwidth reservations and QoS requirements.
