The spreading of Ethernet as an in-vehicle network for today’s cars or those in the near future is being broadly announced by spokespersons for major carmakers and automotive electronics companies. Even in the scientific community there is a growing interest in the topic, as is shown by the increasing number of studies that address the performance of Switched Ethernet or Time-Triggered Ethernet...

For the delay may degrade the performance of networked control systems, networked control systems based on 100 M switched Ethernet are proposed in this paper. According to the working principle of Ethernet switch, the formulas of the upper bound delay of the single-level switched Ethernet and the multiple-level switched Ethernet are deduced by the timing diagram method, and the values of the up...

This paper describes an overview of overall carrier-grade Ethernet technologies for next generation wide area Ethernet. In recent years, from access network to metro and core network, we can find many areas where communication services are provided by Ethernet technologies. This comes from the fact that operational efficiency and economical efficiency of Ethernet are far better than that of con...

Topology information has become more important for management of LANs due to the increasing number of hosts attached to a LAN. We describe three Ethernet topology discovery techniques that can be used even in LANs with Ethernet switches that have no management functionality. Our “Shared Switch Detection (SSD)” technique detects the Ethernet tree topology by testing whether two paths in the netw...

Flow monitoring is a scalable technology for providing summaries of network activity. Being deployed at the IP-layer, it uses fixed flow definitions, based on fields of the IP-layer and higher layers. Since several backbone network operators are considering the deployment of (Carrier) Ethernet in their Next-Generation Network, flow monitoring should also evolve in that direction. In order to do...

the family of high-speed Ethernet technologies. It extends the operating speed of the world's most deployed LAN to 1 billion bits per second while maintaining compatibility with the installed base of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet equipment. T he installed base for Ethernet ranges from PCs and servers to printers , test equipment, telephone switches, cable TV set-top boxes, process control syste...

The Internet has created an opportunity for collaboration between scientists at unprecedented levels. Furthermore, in the late 80's, researchers developed general approaches to programmonitoring[1], [2], [3], followed by advances in program adaptation[4] and steering[5]. Speci cally, by coupling program monitoring and steering with online visualizations[6], [7] of scienti c data, it has now bec...

Ethernet has been the indisputable technology of choice for the local area networks (LANs) for more than 30 years. Its popularity is due to its versatility, plug-n-play feature, and low cost. It has transformed from a CSMA/CD technology providing low throughput to a full duplex link increasing the throughput 1000 folds. Despite these improvements, Ethernet is still restricted to local area netw...

Ethernet, the most widely used commodity network, increasingly moves toward switches as implementation technology thus replacing busses. This allows to use traf£c shaping techniques to implement hard real-time distributed systems on commodity networks. However, because Ethernet switches lack build-in policing features, nodes connected by Switched Ethernet need to be cooperative. Although the th...
