Time Sensitive Networking Technology
What is Time Sensitive Networking (TSN)?
Defined by the IEEE 802.1 working group, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards aimed at enabling highly deterministic services and redundant networking operation for control and other latency-sensitive traffic in Ethernet networks. The standards define traffic streams that can be scheduled to meet stringent performance guarantees such as bounded latency, latency variation, and minimal loss of packets. Due to congestion and buffering at network nodes, best-effort Ethernet traffic may generally be lossy with uncertain packet latencies.
Control applications such as automotive, industrial, and increasingly 5G communications, have strict deterministic requirements that demand ubiquitous TSN features in their networks. TSN provides a way to provide real-time determinism and low latency connectivity, enabling distribution of this time-critical traffic over standard Ethernet networks.
