Abstract
A method and a system for providing a connection using a stream identifier (“id”) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system identifies a talker node, which provides an isochronous data stream via a communication media. Once the talker node is identified, an identifier and an sub-identifier of the talker node are identified. After identifying the identifier and sub-identifier, the stream id associated with the isochronous data stream is identified in response to the identifier and sub-identifier. Next, the system establishes at least one connection according to the stream id. When the connection between the second and talker nodes is established, the listener node reads the isochronous data stream.
