Traffic Generation WHITEPAPER Joan d’Austria, 112 - Barcelona - SP - 08018 Chalfont St Peter - Bucks - UK - SL9 9TR www.albedotelecom.com Ethernet Traffic Generation One of the key features of Ether.Genius / Ether.Sync / Ether.Giga tester fami- lies is the ability to generate traffic with deterministic and random bandwidth profiles. The traffic generation feature can be used to stress the network, sim- ulate user traffic and, if a suitable payload is configured, to measure critical net- work performance parameters like bit errors, packet loss or latency. The above mentioned Ethernet testers manufactured by ALBEDO, have eight in- dependent full featured traffic generators attached to the main test port (Port A). Each traffic flow may be configured with specific encapsulation and ad- dressing parameters thus providing great versatility in all applications requiring Ethernet and IP traffic generation. 1. GENERATION OF ETHERNET TRAFFIC In Ether.Genius / Ether.Sync / Ether.Giga testers, generation of custom Ether- net frames is available for Port A in Ethernet endpoint mode through the Frame, Bandwith profile and Payload settings for each of the eight available traffic flows. This is a short description of the Ethernet traffic generation menus: Figure 1 ALBEDO Ether.Giga is a field tester for Ethernet equipped with all the features to install and maintain Ethernet infrastructures supporting legacy features such as BER and RFC2544 while new test such as eSAM Y.1564.

  • On Ttethernet for Integrated Fault-Tolerant Spacecraft Networks
    On TTEthernet for Integrated Fault-Tolerant Spacecraft Networks Andrew Loveless∗ NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX, 77058 There has recently been a push for adopting integrated modular avionics (IMA) princi- ples in designing spacecraft architectures. This consolidation of multiple vehicle functions to shared computing platforms can significantly reduce spacecraft cost, weight, and de- sign complexity. Ethernet technology is attractive for inclusion in more integrated avionic systems due to its high speed, flexibility, and the availability of inexpensive commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. Furthermore, Ethernet can be augmented with a variety of quality of service (QoS) enhancements that enable its use for transmitting critical data. TTEthernet introduces a decentralized clock synchronization paradigm enabling the use of time-triggered Ethernet messaging appropriate for hard real-time applications. TTEther- net can also provide two forms of event-driven communication, therefore accommodating the full spectrum of traffic criticality levels required in IMA architectures. This paper explores the application of TTEthernet technology to future IMA spacecraft architectures as part of the Avionics and Software (A&S) project chartered by NASA's Advanced Ex- ploration Systems (AES) program.

  • PROFINET for Network Geeks
    PROFINET for Network Geeks (and those who want to be) Introduction PROFINET is an open Industrial Ethernet standard. It is a communication protocol that exchanges data between automation controllers and devices. With over 25 million installed nodes (as of 2018), PROFINET is one of the most widely used Industrial Ethernet standards worldwide. But even though millions of users are familiar with PROFINET, not all users understand how it works. This white paper starts with a brief overview of Ethernet and the 7-layer ISO-OSI model. Then, it describes how PROFINET’s 3 communication channels fit in the model: TCP/IP and UDP/IP, Real-Time (RT), and Isochronous Real-Time (IRT). 1 Ethernet The transition from using 4-20 mA analog signals for I/O communication to digital fieldbuses provided the benefits of reduced wiring, access to network data, and robust diagnostics. The later transition from digital fieldbuses to Ethernet was also similarly a shift to a more modern technology. Ethernet incorporated and improved upon the benefits of fieldbuses. Ethernet is ubiquitous and PROFINET uses standard Ethernet. Ethernet gives PROFINET the ability to provide faster updates, more bandwidth, larger messages, an unlimited address space, and even more diagnostic capabilities. Also, as commercial Ethernet evolves, PROFINET can take advantage of these physical layer improvements. Figure 1 ISO-OSI Model The ISO-OSI Model Ethernet-based communications can be represented by a seven-layer model: the ISO/OSI Reference Model. The model generically describes the means and methods used to transmit data. Each layer has a specific name and function, as shown in Figure 1.

The Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) MAC protocol specifies shared medium (half duplex) operation, as well as full duplex operation. Speed specific Media Independent Interfaces (MIIs) allow use of selected Physical Layer devices (PHY) for operation over coaxial, twisted-pair or fiber optic cables. System considerations for multisegment shared access networks describe the use of Repeaters that are defined for operational speeds up to 1000 Mb/s. Local Area Network (LAN) operation is supported at all speeds. Other specified capabilities include various PHY types for access networks, PHYs suitable for metropolitan area network applications, and the provision of power over selected twisted-pair PHY types.

  • Medium Access Control (MAC)
    1 Medium Access Control 2 Medium Access Control (1) The Network H2 H4 H1 H3 Broadcast networks have possibility of multiple access (MA) to a channel medium access control describes how we resolve the conflict assume only one channel available for communication additional channels would also be the subject of MAC 3 Medium Access Control (2) The Network H2 H4 H1 H3 4 Medium Access Control (3) The Network H2 H4 H1 H3 5 Medium Access Control (4) The Network H2 H4 H1 H3 assume when two frames overlaps at the Rx then both are lost, and thus both must be retransmitted assumption always be true in LANs in broadcast WANs might not be true 6 ALOHA protocol You can do nothing for MAC .
