Traffic Scheduling Simulation System for Time-Sensitive Networking
摘要
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of data link layer protocol specifications developed by the IEEE 802.1 Working Group to provide low latency and high reliability network communication for real-time applications. In order to facilitate research and testing validation of Time-Sensitive Networking, we have designed and developed a TSN simulation system based on NS3. This system simulates gate list configuration and traffic scheduling in time-sensitive network. In addition, the system supports dynamic changes to the topology and flow configuration while the network is running. It includes the following main functionalities: 1. Simplified gate list configuration. 2. Support for dynamic networks. 3. Support for embedding various traffic scheduling algorithms. After experimental verification, our system can support the verification and testing of TSN scheduling algorithm, and effectively improve the development efficiency of researchers.
