They could still call it AIR but the plumbing would be based on AES67 and not UDP. And given the way Ravenna works it would not dependent (in the same way) on the OS of the Mac or PC, at least that is my understanding.
AES-67 is based on RTP over UDP, I believe. But as I've mentioned before, the fact that AIR is based on UDP cannot be the fundamental cause of its problems. The fact is that robustness has to be added at a layer above UDP, which is what RTP and AES-67 (presumably) do properly.
Ah ok... What layer is UDP in the OSI model? 2?
