  • 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. Nomenclature A&S = Avionics and Software Project AA2 = Ascent Abort 2 AES = Advanced Exploration Systems Program ANTARES = Advanced NASA Technology Architecture for Exploration Studies API = Application Program Interface ARM = Asteroid Redirect Mission

The main reason for this is that it has a high data troughput, 10Mbit/s and higher, and good EMI characteristics. As a protocol that might be used in real-time environments such as control systems for cars etc, it seems to fulfil the requirements. TTEthernet is a TDMA extension to normal Eth- ernet, designed to meet the hard deadlines required by real-time networks. This thesis describes how TTEthernet handles frames and the mathemat- ical formulas to calculate shuffle delay of frames in such a network. Open problems related to TTEthernet are also discussed. iii Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Ethernet 2 2.1 Switching . 2 2.2 Ethernet frame format . 3 2.3 The need for TTEthernet . 4 3 TTEthernet 6 3.1 TTEthernet spec . 6 3.1.1 Protocol control frames . 6 3.1.2 Time-triggered frames . 7 3.1.3 Rate constrained frames . 9 3.1.4 Best effort frames . 10 3.2 Integration Algorithms . 10 3.2.1 Shuffling . 10 3.2.2 Preemption .

  • Generating Synthetic Voip Traffic for Analyzing Redundant Openbsd
    UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Department of Informatics Generating Synthetic VoIP Traffic for Analyzing Redundant OpenBSD-Firewalls Master Thesis Maurice David Woernhard May 23, 2006 Generating Synthetic VoIP Traffic for Analyzing Redundant OpenBSD-Firewalls Maurice David Woernhard May 23, 2006 Abstract Voice over IP, short VoIP, is among the fastest growing broadband technologies in the private and commercial sector. Compared to the Plain Old Telephone System (POTS), Internet telephony has reduced availability, measured in uptime guarantees per a given time period. This thesis makes a contribution towards proper quantitative statements about network availability when using two redun- dant, state synchronized computers, acting as firewalls between the Internet (WAN) and the local area network (LAN). First, methods for generating adequate VoIP traffic volumes for loading a Gigabit Ethernet link are examined, with the goal of using a minimal set of hardware, namely one regular desktop computer. pktgen, the Linux kernel UDP packet generator, was chosen for generating synthetic/artificial traffic, reflecting the common VoIP packet characteristics packet size, changing sender and receiver address, as well as typical UDP-port usage. pktgen’s three main parameters influencing the generation rate are fixed inter-packet delay, packet size and total packet count. It was sought to relate these to more user-friendly val- ues of amount of simultaneous calls, voice codec employed and call duration. The proposed method fails to model VoIP traffic accurately, mostly due to the cur- rently unstable nature of pktgen. However, it is suited for generating enough packets for testing the firewalls. Second, the traffic forwarding limit and failover behavior of the redun- dant, state-synchronized firewalls was examined.

    Synchronized real time audio streaming over ethernet in embedded systems A thesis submitted for the degree Master of Science in Information Technology submitted by Indumathi Duraipandian 926286 Fachbereich Informatik und Elektrotechnik Fachhochschule Kiel January 2018 Declaration of Authorship I, Indumathi Duraipandian, declare that this thesis titled, `SYNCHRONIZED REAL TIME AUDIO STREAMING OVER ETHERNET IN EMBEDDED SYSTEMS' and the work presented in it are my own. I confirm that: This work was done wholly or mainly while in candidature for a research degree at this University. Where any part of this thesis has previously been submitted for a degree or any other qualification at this University or any other institution, this has been clearly stated. Where I have consulted the published work of others, this is always clearly at- tributed. Where I have quoted from the work of others, the source is always given. With the exception of such quotations, this thesis is entirely my own work. I have acknowledged all main sources of help. Where the thesis is based on work done by myself jointly with others, I have made clear exactly what was done by others and what I have contributed myself. Signed: Date: i Abstract In any complex audio video networks such as professional audio recording studios, au- tomotive or in-flight infotainment systems, concert avenues or even home entertainment systems, the connection between the various audio/ video sources and sinks are mostly analog, point to point and serve a single purpose. This leads to tonnes of confusing cables, each cable serving a specific data exchange. Even the digital solutions such as I2S, S/PDIF, AES3 for short distance connections, most for automotive applications and Firewire (IEEE 1394), HDMI or audio over USB for high bandwidth applications, still require purpose built cables and proprietary software to work correctly and still they lack interoperability.
