As new networking paradigms emerge for different networking applications, e.g., cyber-physical systems, and different services are handled under a converged data link technology, e.g., Ethernet, certain applications with mission critical traffic cannot coexist on the same physical networking infrastructure using traditional Ethernet packet-switched networking protocols. The IEEE 802.1Q Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) task group is developing protocol standards to provide deterministic properties on Ethernet based packet-switched networks. In particular, the IEEE 802.1Qcc, centralized management and control, and the IEEE 802.1Qbv, Time-Aware Shaper, can be used to manage and control scheduled traffic streams with periodic properties along with best-effort traffic on the same network infrastructure. In this paper, we investigate the effects of using the IEEE 802.1Qcc management protocol to accurately and precisely configure TAS enabled switches (with transmission windows governed by gate control lists (GCLs) with gate control entries (GCEs)) ensuring ultra-low latency, zero packet loss, and minimal jitter for scheduled TSN traffic. We examine both a centralized network/distributed user model (hybrid model) and a fullydistributed (decentralized) 802.1Qcc model on a typical industrial control network with the goal of maximizing scheduled traffic streams.

“…However, they only describe the essential components as proof of concept to manage network resources in RT and register time-sensitive streams while routing and scheduling mechanisms are left out of scope. In [12], a generic concept for secure and time-sensitive communication in industrial networks is described. Similar to [6], there is no further evaluation or the details of implementation.…”

The convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Industrial Operations Technology (OT) results in efficient network management solutions for automotive and industrial automation environments. However, configuring real-time Ethernet networks while maintaining the desired QoS is challenging due to the dynamic nature of OT networks and the high number of configuration parameters. This paper introduces a Software-Defined Network (SDN)-based self-configuration framework for the time-sensitive networks (TSNs). Unlike standard TSN, we remove end-host-related dependencies and put streams initially on default paths to extract traffic characteristics by monitoring network traffic at edge switches. Communicated to a central SDN controller, these characteristics allow moving streams to optimal paths while maintaining hard real-time guarantees, for which we also formulate an optimization problem. According to the results, although the proposed approach increases the average delay of critical frames by less than 1%, a certain level of realtime guarantee can be provided without prior knowledge of the streams.

“…The switches are not real-time capable and unscheduled cross traffic could change the network behaviour. Kobzan et al share their concepts of software-defined networks for the production plants of the future in the FlexSi-Pro research project [12]. They evaluate the combination of TSN and SDN for IA and declare the central configuration of real-time traffic with SDN as an open research task.…”

Future in-vehicular networks will be based on Ethernet. The IEEE Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a promising candidate to satisfy real-time requirements in future car communication. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) extends the Ethernet control plane with a programming option that can add much value to the resilience, security, and adaptivity of the automotive environment. In this work, we derive a first concept for combining Software-Defined Networking with Time-Sensitive Networking along with an initial evaluation. Our measurements are performed via a simulation that investigates whether an SDN architecture is suitable for time-critical applications in the car. Our findings indicate that the control overhead of SDN can be added without a delay penalty for the TSN traffic when protocols are mapped properly.
