Embedded Linux Conference & OpenIoT Summit North America 2018

Time-sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of evolving IEEE standards that aim to address resources availability so that bandwidth reservation and bounded latency are provided by Ethernet based LANs. TSN standards are becoming widely adopted with different applications on several domains - automotive infotainment and control, industrial control automation (Fieldbus), professional A/V, etc - with interoperability playing a key role on the ecosystem development.

In this presentation, Jesus Sanchez-Palencia will introduce some of the TSN standards (i.e. 802.1Qav, Qbv, Qbu, etc), recap previous attempts on TSN SW enabling, present the current architecture and upstream interfaces that him and others have been working on (e.g. cbs and tbs qdiscs, new socket options), introduce the userspace components available to TSN application developers, and discuss the challenges ahead.
