This paper proposes Ethernet linear protection switching technology in order to provide the SONET/SDH-like resiliency over Metro Ethernet Networks. The proposed design is made of an architecture with a control processor board and several data processing boards, where the control processor board is independent of data processing board, providing a flexible solution for carrier Ethernet system. However, it leads an increasing message delay between inter-processors. In this paper, we implement and confirm a restoration of failed transport connections withing 50 millisecond in spite of increasing message delay between the control processing board and data processing board providing carrier-class network survivability.

In high reliability systems for industrial network such as railway signal system, fieldbus protocols have been known to satisfy the real-time and fault tolerant requirements. But, the application of fieldbus has been limited due to the high cost of hardware and software, and the difficulty in interfacing with multi-vendor products. Therefore, as an alternative to fieldbus, the computer network technology, especially Ethernet(IEEE 802.3), is being adapted to the industrial network. In this paper, we propose a switched Ethernet based railway signal system because of its very promising prospect for industrial application due to the elimination of uncertainties in the network operation. In addition, we propose the redundancy architecture for the reliability of network components. More specifically, this paper presents an analytical performance evaluation of switched Ethernet for railway signal system, and shows experimental evaluation of redundancy architecture.

Currently, the needs of open standard and integrated network, and also applications of Ethernet network based system are increasing. By applying and expanding TCP/IP based network technology from high to low control level, factory automation application has been implemented, and thus integrated factory automation system has been accomplished, which is directly interoperable between high level management program and DB system. This paper proposes a communication control device which is based on Ethernet/IP standard system for factory automation. The proposed system is workable in the environment of a network system, which is based on CIP standard interface technology. The proposed system can also contribute to improve data communication characteristics.

Designing communication architecture for substation automation is a challenging and subtle task for visualizing substations in the digital world under the umbrella of IEC61850. Communication paradigms for substation automation are of critical importance because of two reasons; the communication arena is changing daily and opts for convenience and simple deployment at a lower migration cost and interoperability is one of the core constrains of IEC61850 for substation automation. This paper presents an analysis and outline of the crucial need for the deployment of Gigabit Ethernet in substations and also presents suggestions on how Ethernet technology can help in substation automation. Ethernet is one of the most pervasive communication technologies available and can provide a long term solution in the changing arena of communication. We have performed simulations in NS-2 to prove that our suggested communication paradigm is optimal in various regards with consideration of the constraints imposed by IEC61850.

Earlier efforts on optical access concentrated on the design of PONs for the collection and distribution portion of the access network. The PON architecture is very simple but it requires a MAC protocol for control of upstream traffic. The MAC protocol must support QoS (Quality of Service) administration function by various traffic class, efficient dynamic bandwidth assignment function, CDV (Ceil Delay Variation) minimization function etc. This paper proposes a dynamic bandwidth assignment algorithm of the MAC protocol for a broadband access network using an Ethernet Passive Optical Network supporting various traffic class. We compare our proposed with MDRR algorithm using simulation, and confirmed that our proposed Request-Counter algorithm produces shorter average cell delay.

This paper discusses performance evaluation methodologies for wired/wireless Ethernet adaptors. This paper defines test cases for performance evaluation of LAN adaptor and its environments. Performance evaluation of LAN adaptor is mote complex as compared with interconnection devices such as Ethernet HUB and Ethernet switch, because its performance depends on the system on which the adaptor is plugged. Such dependencies include CUP type, RAM size, system bus architecture(PCI bus clock), etc.

최근 대부분의 첨단 (Mission Critical) 무기체계가 컴퓨터 노드 연결에 의한 Ethernet 네트워크 기반으로 구성되고 있어, 이에 따른 시스템의 신뢰성 측면이 더욱 중요한 요소로 대두되고 있다. 본고에서는 첨단 무기체계의 신뢰도를 높이기 위한 Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE)의 기본인 이중화 방식을 비교 소개하고자 한다. 기존의 소프트웨어 접근방식과 하드웨어 접근방식은 물론, 최근 본 연구팀이 제안한 복합 (Hybrid) 방식도 비교 대상으로 하였다. 또한 FTE 구현 시 필수적 고려사항인 고장감시/자동 복구 Metric 및 관련 Simulation 결과도 함께 제시한다.

Problems like poor security, transfer delay or packet loss occur while building network systems that are applied with TCP/TP integrate with data network systems. To solve this problem, this paper proposes the Separated Ethernet, which can give priority to the system, and by using the OPNET Modeler simulator, we will verify its performances.

최근 이더넷(Ethernet) 보급과 사용자의 증가 그리고 다양한 응용 서비스들의 등장으로 인하여 점차 네트워크 트래픽이 폭증하고 있다. 이에 따라서 SLA(Service Level Agreement)를 위한 대역폭 조절(Bandwidth의 Regulation)의 중요성은 더욱 높아지고 있다. 그러나 기존에 제시된 대역폭 조절 방식들은 이더넷에 적합하지 않거나 또는 너무 복잡하여, EFM(Ethernet for First Mile)에 적용하기 어려웠다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 이더넷에 적용하기 적합한 간단하면서도 효과적인 대역폭 조절(Bandwidth Regulation) 방법인 속도 계산(Rate Calculation)방식을 제안하며, 제안한 메커니즘에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능 분석을 수행하였다.

We propose a lane adaptive recovery scheme for multiple lane faults in a multi-lane-based Ethernet link. In our scheme, when lane faults occur in a link, they are processed not as full link faults but as partial link faults. Our scheme provides a higher link utilization and lower packet loss rate by reusing the available lanes of the link and providing a low recovery time of under a microsecond.
