Characterizing the Real-Time Behavior of Prioritized Switched-Ethernet

Tags:
ethernet

Overview Ethernet is, today, the de facto standard in the Local Area Networks general domain. Despite having been designed for the office environment, it has been appropriately modified or adapted in order to fulfill the requirements of many other fields, including large distributed embedded systems and industrial automation. One typical requirement in such application fields is the need to deliver time-constrained communication services, which cannot be efficiently met using the original CSMA/CD medium access control. Among many possible solutions, either software or hardware-based, the one that became more popular, recently, is the use of switches.
