RELY-TSN-LAB

Time-Sensitive Networking Testing Tool

Overview

Time-Sensitive Networking has come out as the definite solution for covering the needs of sectors such as automotive, aerospace, railway, industrial automation, etc. In the process of evolving their networks to these new standards, system architects need to validate the correct performance of the TSN mechanisms before being applied in the field applications. 

RELY-TSN-LAB is a new concept of intelligent device that integrates IEEE IEEE 802.1AS sub-microsecond synchronization to analyse the behaviour of a TSN network under certain stress conditions. The device can simulate surges conditions and other interferences in the network by forcing FCS (CRC) errors in selected frames. In addition, it allows to measure the bandwidth and latency of a pre-defined set of traffic transmitted on the network.

Key Features

  1. Latency measurement in TSN networks with accuracy in the range of the nanosecond
  2. Synchronized using IEEE 802.1AS through a separated synchronization port
  3. Simplified management and monitoring via a user-friendly HTTPS web interface or SSH accessible CLI
  4. Built for High Reliability & 24/7 Operation
