A Switched Ethernet Protocol for Hard Real-Time Embedded System Applications
A Li Mu Jiang Yiming, Toshio Eisaka · 2005
This paper presents a protocol to support traffic for hard real-time applications over non real-time LAN technology, with a switched Ethernet based network concept without any modifications of existing Ethernet hardware. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed Ethernet protocol has better real-time performances, higher bandwidth and a larger data frame, and meets the requirements of reliability for hard real-time systems.
