End-to-end QoS Management in Self-Configuring TSN Networks

Abstract

Industrial networked computing environments are expected to serve a wide range of applications with heterogeneous Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements. This capability demands for novel, QoS-aware network management and configuration techniques resilient in the face of network changes. State-of-the-art approaches only focus on aspects related to the management of network devices. In this work, we move a step further, proposing an end-to-end QoS management approach in Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) compliant networks, capable of handling reconfiguration events e.g., link-drop. Shedding some light on our proposal, we first discuss its functional building blocks, successively validating the approach on a real TSN testbed.
