Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is an emerging technology, which enables advancements in applications like industrial automation, automatic vehicle-to-vehicle communication, etc. which hosts various time-critical applications, ensuring bounded latency. The novel idea of this paper is to present OMNET++ simulation-based complex multi-hop TSN network using the native VLAN concept to bring out a cost-effective model for inter-TSN and Intra-TSN domains. This paper investigates the performance of hybrid IEEE standards, ie.IEEE 802.1Qbu and IEEE 802.1Qbv standards. The simulation results show that the combination of these standards, when effectively scheduled in switches will reduce the latency by 3.3 µseconds in time-critical applications. Further, it is observed that in Best effort traffic, frame loss is also very less in the range of 2-5 frames out of 1385 frames. These results certainly will be of great value in more complex TSN deployments.
