“…It allows critical data to be sent over the same communication link as the rest of the traffic without causing delays or disturbances, thus eliminating the need to create industrial networks independent of each other. These traffic classes facilitate data exchange between production sites and enterprises by fully interoperating factory networks with the Internet [8]. All the switches must be TSN-aware to take advantage of TSN.…”

By bringing industrial-grade robustness and reliability to Ethernet, Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) offers an IEEE standard communication technology that enables interoperability between standard-conformant industrial devices from any vendor. It also eliminates the need for physical separation of critical and non-critical communication networks, which allows a direct exchange of data between operation centers and companies, a concept at the heart of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This article describes creating an end-to-end TSN network using specialized PCI Express (PCIe) cards and two final Linux endpoints. For this purpose, the two primary standards of TSN, IEEE 802.1AS (regarding clock synchronization), and IEEE 802.1Qbv (regarding time scheduled traffic) have been implemented in Linux equipment as well as a configuration and monitoring system.

“…Some standards are almost complete, although always subject to possible changes or improvements, while others are under development. Table 1 presents the functions and features of TSN that will enable the introduction of security mechanisms [4]. The fundamental base of TSN is the time-aware shaper [31].…”

Since the 1990s, the digitalization process has transformed the communication infrastructure within the electrical grid: proprietary infrastructures and protocols have been replaced by the IEC 61850 approach, which realizes interoperability among vendors. Furthermore, the latest networking solutions merge operational technologies (OTs) and informational technology (IT) traffics in the same media, such as time-sensitive networking (TSN)—standard, interoperable, deterministic, and Ethernet-based. It merges OT and IT worlds by defining three basic traffic types: scheduled, best-effort, and reserved traffic. However, TSN demands security against potential new cyberattacks, primarily, to protect real-time critical messages. Consequently, security in the smart grid has turned into a hot topic under regulation, standardization, and business. This survey collects vulnerabilities of the communication in the smart grid and reveals security mechanisms introduced by international electrotechnical commission (IEC) 62351-6 and how to apply them to time-sensitive networking.

“…The main quality of the IP is the high configuration capability, not only of the number of ports, but also of the settings like IP, MAC address MAC table, MDIO (Management Data Input Output) , frame storage queues, and more. In addition to this, it offers the widest and most up-to-date support to the TSN standards used in the automotive and industrial domains [20], [31], including the following IEEE standards: [32]. Since this board has a single Ethernet port, an FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) Ethernet module provides four additional ports.…”

SPHERE: A Multi-SoC Architecture for Next-Generation Cyber-Physical Systems Based on Heterogeneous Platforms

et al. 2021

This paper presents SPHERE, a project aimed at the realization of an integrated framework to abstract the hardware complexity of interconnected, modern system-on-chips (SoC) and simplify the management of their heterogeneous computational resources. The SPHERE framework leverages hypervisor technology to virtualize computational resources and isolate the behavior of different subsystems running on the same platform, while providing safety, security, and real-time communication mechanisms. The main challenges addressed by SPHERE are discussed in the paper along with a set of new technologies developed in the context of the project. They include isolation mechanisms for mixed-criticality applications, predictable I/O virtualization, the management of time-sensitive networks with heterogeneous traffic flows, and the management of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) to provide efficient implementations for cryptography modules, as well as hardware acceleration for deep neural networks. The SPHERE architecture is validated through an autonomous driving use-case.INDEX TERMS cyber-physical systems, embedded systems, real-time systems, hypervisor, FPGA.
