ACN defines a number of sub protocols. These protocols all follow the [[Type-length-value|TLV]] style '''Protocol Data Units''' ('''PDU'''). These can be nested in predefined hierarchy.

TheSome Protocolsof the protocols defined in ANSI E1.17 are:

* Root Layer Protocol forOperation on [[UDP/IP|UDP]]

* Session Data Transport Protocol (SDT)

* Device Management Protocol (DMP)

* Device Description Language (DDL)

There are also also definitions for interoperability with other protocols, including MIDI, SMPTE, DMX512-A, RDM, RS232, Analog

There is also an XML description language which defines properties of the devices which is called the Device Description Language.

Input, and Contact Closure Output. The protocol for DMX is covered by the ANSI standard: ''Lightweight streaming protocol for transport of [[DMX (lighting)|DMX512]] using ACN'' (ANSI E1.31 - 2009).
