Multicast traffic filtering for sampled value process bus networks
David M. E. Ingram, Pascal Schaub, Duncan Campbell · 2011
Ethernet is a key component of the standards used for digital process buses in transmission substations, namely IEC 61850 and IEEE Std 1588-2008 (PTPv2). These standards use multicast Ethernet frames that can be processed by more than one device. This presents some significant engineering challenges when implementing a sampled value process bus due to the large amount of network traffic.
