Real-time communication over switched ethernet for military applications

Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet is a forecasted new technology for advanced military aircraft system interconnection. However, it was not originally developed to meet the requirements of real-time communications. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze traffic shaping and a priority handling approach over switched Ethernet to achieve reliable transmission with bounded delays that conform to the real-time constraints, required by military applications. Categories and Subject Descriptors C.2.5 [Computer systems organization]: Computer communication networks—local and wide area networks General Terms Experimentation Keywords Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet, traffic shaping, priority handling, delay bounds
