Item DTPF Algorithm Based Open-Source Time-Sensitive Network Leveraging SDN Architecture(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Hagargund, A.G.; Shet, N.S.V.; Kulkarni, M.Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) has enabled a lot of advancements in industrial automation, aviation, tactile networking, and other ad-hoc networking applications. The bounded latency, reliability, and self-recovering mechanisms for a network are some of the core attributes of the TSN architecture. The reliability of bench-marking of a given TSN architecture, when done with simulators, will not match with that of hardware systems. But the TSN hardware needs more capital investment along with more development time as it involves understanding the hardware-specific parameters. The research in this paper has solved this shortcoming by implementing an open-source and secured SDN(Software Defined Networking)-based TSN framework integrating IEEE's 802.1 Qbv and 802.1Qcc standards. The novelty of implementation involves i) Realization of Centralized User Configuration (CUC), Centralized Network Configuration (CNC) with open source tools. ii) An algorithm called Dynamic TSN Path Finder (DTPF) is implemented for automatically identifying TSN edges participating in TSN flow. iii) Emulation of hardware environment leveraging Linux-based queuing disciplines and traffic shapers. This unique open source-based TSN architecture is then tested with both TSN and Non-TSN traffic, to demonstrate the gating logic and the delay characteristics based on queuing discipline when applied to virtual queues. © 2013 IEEE.Item Enhancing Time-Sensitive Networking resilience through SDN-based automated failover process(KeAi Communications Co., 2025) Hagargund, A.G.; Asha, K.; Shet, N.S.V.; Kulkarni, M.In domains such as industrial automation, tactile networking, and invehicle communication, stringent requirements for bounded latency and minimal packet loss are paramount to ensure the reliability and efficiency of Time-Sensitive applications. The Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) aims to cater to these requirements. The architecture of TSN involves heterogeneous data with mixed traffic classes. To ensure the continuous availability of the TSN network, the required failover process for TSN devices must be in place. In this paper, the novel algorithm TSN Device Failover Design (TDFD) for automatic failover configuration of edge switch is proposed and validated using Linux based Open Source tools. Also, the Software Defined Networking (SDN) infrastructure is being employed to enhance the operational efficiency of distributed TSN. For the bounded latency as proposed under the IEEE 802.1Qbv, this work utilizes TAPRIO (Time Aware Priority) queuing discipline. Additionally, the impact of failover on TSN traffic is analyzed by measuring the latency. The experiment result shows that the TSN packets were sent to the destination with a delay of 6 to 13 microseconds before failover. During the failover process, there were no packet transmissions for about 160 ms due to the transition from the old TSN path to the new TSN path due to switch failure. After this, the packets are transmitted to the destination with zero loss. The time taken for the CUC to calculate the new flows and push the new flows to the backup switch is 160 ms. © 2025 The Authors
