  • 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.

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 .

  • Emerging Technology Trends Report Dante Q-LAN EBU N/ACIP
    Emerging Technology Trends Report AES Technical Committee on Network Audio Systems November 2011 Editor, Tim Shuttleworth; [email protected] This document is a compilation of contributions from numerous members of the Technical Committee on Networked Audio Systems. The committee has identified the following important topics related to emerging audio networking technologies. Technologies which have emerged since the last published Emerging Trends Report from the committee in 2007 are included. To provide structure to the report items are discussed in order of their maturity; commercialized technologies implemented in products available for purchase being discussed first and embryonic concepts in early development come up last. Other categorizations referred to in this document are consumer market orientation versus professional market focus, as well as media transport methods versus command and control protocols. Dante Dante is a media networking solution developed by Audinate. In addition to providing basic synchronization and transport protocols Dante provides simple plug and play operation, PC sound card interfacing via software or hardware, glitch free redundancy, support for AVB and support for routed IP networks. The first Dante product arrived in 2008 via a firmware upgrade for the Dolby Lake Processor and since then many professional audio and broadcast manufacturers have adopted Dante. From the beginning Dante implementations have been fully IP based, using the IEEE 1588-2002 standard for synchronization, UDP/IP for audio transport and are designed to exploit standard gigabit Ethernet switches and VoIP-style QoS technology (e.g. Diffserv). Dante is evolving with new networking standards. Audinate has produced versions of Dante that use the new Ethernet Audio Video Bridging (AVB) protocols, including IEEE 802.1AS for synchronization and RTP transport protocols.

  • 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.

  • Public Address System Network Design Considerations
    AtlasIED APPLICATION NOTE Public Address System Network Design Considerations Background AtlasIED provides network based Public Address Systems (PAS) that are deployed on a wide variety of networks at end user facilities worldwide. As such, a primary factor, directly impacting the reliability of the PAS, is a properly configured, reliable, well-performing network on which the PAS resides/functions. AtlasIED relies solely upon the end user’s network owner/manager for the design, provision, configuration and maintenance of the network, in a manner that enables proper PAS functionability/functionality. Should the network on which the PAS resides be improperly designed, configured, maintained, malfunctions or undergoes changes or modifications, impacts to the reliability, functionality or stability of the PAS can be expected, resulting in system anomalies that are outside the control of AtlasIED. In such instances, AtlasIED can be a resource to, and support the end user’s network owner/manager in diagnosing the problems and restoring the PAS to a fully functioning and reliable state. However, for network related issues, AtlasIED would look to the end user to recover the costs associated with such activities. While AtlasIED should not be expected to actually design a facility’s network, nor make formal recommendations on specific network equipment to use, this application note provides factors to consider – best practices – when designing a network for public address equipment, along with some wisdom and possible pitfalls that have been gleaned from past experiences in deploying large scale systems.
