Performance analysis of the IEEE 802.1 ethernet audio/video bridging standard

چکیده
Switched Ethernet is widely used for all kinds of applications. However, for demanding multimedia streaming applications in a fully-loaded network, legacy Ethernet is not the best choice due to its limited Quality-of-Service (QoS) support. The new specification of the IEEE 802.1 Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) standard, an extension to legacy Ethernet, provides the QoS features needed for multimedia streaming: Time synchronized low latency streaming services and bandwidth reservation on Layer-2. In this work, we study and analyze the AVB standard based on a simulation approach to verify the specified constraints and to determine the feasibility of the mechanisms in a switched Ethernet network. We use the simulation tool OMNeT++ and extend the existing INET-framework to support all the required protocols specified in the IEEE 802.1 AVB standard.

Improved Clock Synchronization Start-Up Time for Switched Ethernet-Based In-Vehicle Networks
Clock synchronization is a necessary feature in invehicle timeand safety-critical networks. The reason is that exact timing information has to be maintained in nodes, for instance for time stamps of messages that are important for safetycritical functions. A common time base has to be established at start-up time before time-sensitive data handling can begin. In vehicular applications, this clo...
متن کاملPerformance Study of an In-Car Switched Ethernet Network without Prioritization
This paper presents the current state of our research in realtime communication of an IP-based in-car network. The Internet Protocol (IP) will serve as convergence layer of different specific in-car network protocols and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet will be the basic technology to transport IP. In this work, we evaluate a legacy switched Ethernet network without any Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms. ...
متن کاملDesign optimisation of cyber-physical distributed systems using IEEE time-sensitive networks
In this study the authors are interested in safety-critical real-time applications implemented on distributed architectures supporting the time-sensitive networking (TSN) standard. The on-going standardisation of TSN is an IEEE effort to bring deterministic real-time capabilities into the IEEE 802.1 Ethernet standard supporting safety-critical systems and guaranteed quality-of-service. TSN will...
متن کاملPriority Flow Control: Build Reliable Layer 2 Infrastructure
This document describes priority flow control (PFC), one of the functions of IEEE 802.1 Data Center Bridging, introduced to address reliability at Layer 2 on the Ethernet medium. PFC enables lossless semantics for a subset of the Layer 2 flows carried on an Ethernet segment. The subset of flows subject to the lossless semantics is identified by the IEEE 802.1p class of service (CoS) information...
متن کاملUltra-Low Latency (ULL) Networks: A Comprehensive Survey Covering the IEEE TSN Standard and Related ULL Research
Many network applications, e.g., industrial control, demand Ultra-Low Latency (ULL). However, traditional packet networks can only reduce the end-to-end latencies to the order of tens of milliseconds. Audio Video Bridging (AVB) standards and IEEE 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards and related research studies have sought to provide network support for ULL applications. This article...
