FT-LAN, a Fault Tolerant Local Area Network Architecture for Mobile Mission Critical Systems
Overview This paper presents a fault-tolerant LAN architecture for Mobile Mission Critical Systems (MMCS's). MMCS's are real-time computing platforms that perform continuously in harsh environments. It is desirable that they continue to perform a subset of critical tasks under fault conditions. The network in a MMCS can be characterized as an isolated, real-time, device-control network. A key consideration for MMCS's is the ability of the network to support critical operations during fault conditions. The architecture proposed in this paper combines a priority-driven, real-time, LAN protocol with the Adaptive Earliest Deadline First (AEDF) scheduling approach. Under nominal conditions the real-time protocol efficiently guarantees all message time constraints with respect to bandwidth utilization efficiency.
