TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking)

Connections to other Concepts

Short Description

  • Describes a series of standards that define mechanisms for the transmission of data over Ethernet networks.
  • A majority of the projects define extensions to the IEEE 802.1Q bridging standard.
  • These extensions primarily address transmission with very low transmission latency and high availability.

Facts and Figures

  • Developed by the Time-Sensitive Networking Task Group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
  • The task group evolved from the Audio/Video Bridging Task Group that existed in 2012

Stakeholders

  • IEEE

Use Cases

  • Converged networks with real-time audio/video streams and, in particular, real-time control streams, which are used e.g.
    • In automobiles,
    • In modern airplanes or
    • Used for control in industrial plants
  • Audio-video bridging (AVB) systems,
  • Mobile fronthaul networks,
  • Industrial automation,
  • In-vehicle bus systems,
  • Utility Networks

Industry Sectors

  • Cross-sector technology, especially real-time applications
