A Study on Optimal Ethernet-based Industrial Networks Construction Using Asynchronous Traffic Shaping in IEEE 802.1TSN and Downhill Simplex Method

This paper studies using Asynchronous Traffic Shaping (ATS), which is defined by IEEE 802.1TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking), to transmit time-sensitive traffic over Ethernet-based industrial networks. In addition, the authors use the Downhill simplex method, a numerical optimization method, to calculate optimal ATS parameter values to meet industrial network requirements. The paper applies the method to an actual industrial network by experiment and confirms its effectiveness from the experimental results.
