Proven 1394 Technology Trumps Ethernet AVB Potential - With the automobile becoming yet another home for a network of interconnected intelligent subsystems, vehicle designers must choose a multimedia network technology. Modern automobiles need a way to move everything from video to safety data around the auto. Ethernet works well in the office and the home, and at first glance it might appear a good fit for vehicles. A detailed investigation, however, reveals that the Ethernet physical layer (PHY) is not a proper match for the automotive environment, and that no high-level protocols exist for multimedia delivered over Ethernet in the automobile. Conversely, 1394 has a more flexible PHY that supports numerous topologies (including preferred daisy-chained connections) and also includes proven protocols for passing real-time multimedia streams.
