Abstract :
Real-time Ethernet emerges as the primary supporting technology for the next generation of industrial communications. As real-time performance is critical in many industrial applications, how to evaluate it in industrial Ethernet becomes vitally important. In this paper a mathematical model using Network Calculus is presented to calculate the upper bound of end-to-end delay in hybrid networks.
