'''Architecture for Control Networks''' ('''ACN''') is a suite of seventeen [[network protocol]]s for [[show control]] developed by [[Entertainment Services and Technology Association]] (ESTA). The first official release is formally referred to as ANSI E1.17 - 2006 - Entertainment Technology - Architecture for Control Networks. The protocol has been revised and released under the name ANSI E1.17 - 2010.
 
ACN was designed as a control architecture for audio, lighting, video playback servers (media servers) and similar systems. The protocol is designed to be layered on top of [[User Datagram Protocol|UDP/IP]] and therefore will run over standard, inexpensive [[Ethernet]] and [[802.11]] (Wi-Fi) network links.
