This paper proposes a message transmission model for hard real-time communications of periodic messages on a switched Ethernet and also proposes an algorithm to schedule the messages to be transmitted within their deadlines. The proposed scheduling algorithm is a distributed one and is peformed by the source and the destination nodes without the modification of the operational features of the standard Ethernet switch. When a new periodic message needs to be transmitted, it is first checked whether it can be scheduled on both the transmission and the reception links without affecting the already-scheduled messages, and a feasible schedule is made for the new message if it is schedulable. The proposed scheduling algorithm guarantees the transmission of periodic messages within their deadline and allows flexible message transmission on a hard real-time switched Ethernet through the dynamic addition of new periodic messages during run-time.

This paper proposes an autonomous fault determination, fault zone isolation and fault restoration strategy based on the ethernet communication as a new attempt to solve the problem the of the existing central control method. In proposed method, The FRTU(Feeder Remote Terminal Unit)s on the feeder determines autonomously where the faulted zone is by exchanging the voltage and current information with neighbor FRTUs based on the network communication, and then separates the faulted zone in an nil-voltage status to make the protective device to reclose successively. In particular, the minimization of outage time and relational load balancing is archived by each interconnection switch which determines autonomously the load zone to be allocated among those zones after the sound outage zones was separated individually. Finally, to show effectiveness of the proposed fault restoration strategy, the several fault cases are simulated for the test distribution system, and the load balancing index of the proposed solution is compared with all of feasible solutions.

LAN Emulation and IPOA are the two most widei y accepted network protocols which allow to provide conventional LAN-based data services on ATM LAN environment. In this paper, the performance of IPOA and LAN Emulation on ATM LAN testbed is compared and the results are compared with performance of Ethernet as well. For performance comparison, metrics such as application throughput, latency, CPU usage are used. In addition, a network program that uses the socket based TCP/IP application programming interface to send large data files from client to server via ATM LAN switch is developed. IPOA provides lower latency and higher throughput than LAN Emulation while LAN Emulation consumes more CPU usage.

In this paper, various forms of technical methods as well as comparison analysis on constructing optical subscriber network were studied to find the most economical installation method in the future. Comparison analysis has been focused on the three popular types of optical subscriber networks in Korea, such as VDSL2, Ethernet-LAN and FTTH-R. A study is conducted on the initial installation investment per subscriber, equipment failure rate as well as power consumption per subscriber. As a results, FTTH-R network will be the most economical method in the future, but a gradual switch which undergoes a UTP-fiber hybrid method as the midway process is preferable in considering the existing installed copper UTP subscriber cables.

IEC61850 which has comes to international standard for substation automation is designed with a station and process bus communication with Ethernet. In this paper, mentioning difference between official networks and substation networks, authors present the requirements for temperature, humidity and EMI characteristics. The properties which network switch should be satisfied and the technologies which make those requirements possible are also proposed. Additionally, we analysis the traffic pattern of communication services which IEC61850 supports. Based on the pattern, we propose a practical design example of IEC61850 based network for a 154kV substation.

STP gets to have different network performance, depending on the configuration method of topology. Accordingly, for efficient network environment, it is necessary to make the optimum topology. This paper proposed a way to make the optimum topology for construction of efficient network among switches on ethernet: the optimum topology was made by calculating the time the switches in the same domain receive the frame transmitted from the root switch, using a mathematical model. And it analyzed the performance of the topology depending on the location of the root switch. As a result of analyzing the performance, this study came to the conclusion that it would be effective to locate the root switch in the center of the square network.

One of the major trends of automotive networking architecture is the introduction of automotive Ethernet. Ethernet is already used in single automotive applications (e.g. to connect high-data-rate sources as video cameras), it is expected that the ongoing standardization at IEEE (IEEE802.3bw - 100BASE-T1, respectively IEEE P802.3bp - 1000BASE-T1) will lead to a much broader adoption in future. Those applications will not be limited to simple point-to-point connections, but may affect Electric/Electronic(EE) Architectures as a whole. It is agreed that IP based traffic via Ethernet could be secured by application of well-established IP security protocols (e.g., IPSec, TLS) combined with additional components like, e.g., automotive firewall or IDS. In the case of safety and real-time related applications on resource constraint devices, the IP based communication is not the favorite option to be used with complicated and performance demanding TLS or IPSec. Those applications will be foreseeable incorporate Layer-2 based communication protocols as, e.g., currently standardized at IEEE[13]. The present paper reflects the state-of-the-art communication concepts with respect to security and identifies architectural challenges and potential solutions for future Ethernet Switch-based EE-Architectures. It also gives an overview and provide insights into the ongoing security relevant standardization activities concerning automotive Ethernet. Furthermore, the properties of non-automotive Ethernet security mechanisms as, e.g., IEEE 802.1AE aka. MACsec or 802.1X Port-based Network Access Control, will be evaluated and the applicability for automotive applications will be assessed.

In this paper, we consider the following two issues for implementing the synchronous Ethernet systems. First, a synchronous Ethernet system employs a fixed size superframe which is divided into a synchronous period and an asynchronous one. We note that the starting point of a superframe is not deterministic when an ordinary data frame's transmission is overlapped the superframe boundary. This overlap may be a fatal drawback for strict jitter bounded applications. Circumventing the problem, we propose a frame fragmentation scheme to provide a zero jitter, and compare its delay performance with the hold scheme which also provides the zero jitter. We next concern that IEEE 802.3x pause frames cannot be promptly transmitted in a synchronous period, and thus asynchronous traffics may be dramatically get dropped at the input buffer of a switch. To handle the problem, we propose an efficient flow control by allowing the transmission of the pause frame in a synchronous period, and investigate the blocking probability of the asynchronous traffics by the simulation.

This paper proposes an efficient network architecture for reflective memory system (RMS). Using this architecture, the time for broadcasting a shared-data to all nodes can be significantly shortened. The device named topology conversion switch (TCS) is implemented to realize the network architecture. The implemented TCS is applied to the ethernet based real time control network (ERCnet) to evaluate the performance.

As the increasing integrity of VLSI, the BIST(Built-In Self Test) is used as an effective method to test chips. Generally the pseudo-random test pattern generation is used for BIST. But it requires too many test patterns when there exist random This paper proposes and presents a new efficient network architecture for Reflective Memory System (RMS). A time to copy shared-data among nodes effects critically on the entire performance of the RMS. In this paper, the recent researches about the RMS are investigated and compared. The device named Topology Conversion Switch(TCS) is introduced to realize the proposed network architecture. One of the RMS based industrial control networks, Ethernet based Real-time Control Network (ERCnet), is adopted to evaluate the performance of the proposed network architecture for RMS.
