As the requirements of real-time networking in-
crease, the IEEE Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) task group is
working on new standards for high bandwidth and low latency
Ethernet switching. In particular, the upcoming P802.1Qcr standard
features Asynchronous Traffic Shaping (ATS), which is a
promising approach for real-time networks with high dynamics
and critical safety requirements. Additionally, parallel concepts
such as frame preemption can be used to reduce delays even
further.
This work presents a discrete event simulation framework
that can analyze the performance of these concepts. It implements
frame preemption and multiple shaping algorithms, while
recording latency and queue utilization statistics at the switches.
In addition, an evaluation of a linear topology with four switches
is performed under high link utilization, which demonstrates the
benefit of the above mechanisms compared to regular Ethernet
switching.
