This paper presents a method to support real-time data communication over switched Ethernet. The work without modifications in the Ethernet hardware and coexists with TCP/IP suites. Experiment results shows that compared with conventional real-time network protocol, the proposed work has better real-time performances and meets the requirements for industrial control network real-time applications.
