Abstract

Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards provide scheduling and traffic shaping mechanisms to ensure the coexistence of Time-Sensitive (TS) and non-TS traffic classes on the same network infrastructure. Nonetheless, much effort is still needed on the operation of such TSN capable network infrastructure to ensure that the required performance of the different flows, defined in terms of key performance indicators, can be met once the flows are deployed in the network. In this paper, we focus on such aspects and propose a solution involving network-wide scheduling for TS flows, as well as performance estimation for non-TS flows. Specifically, a control plane architecture especially designed for provisioning TS and non-TS flows is proposed. The architecture integrates: i) a TS Flow Scheduler Planner for defining the scheduling of requested TS flows along a path so as to meet their required performance; and ii) a Network Digital Twin to estimate the performance of requested and already established non-TS flows. Differently from standardized time-aware schedulers, per-TS flow queues are assumed so as to guarantee minimal jitter. Efficient algorithms are proposed so the provisioning of flows can be carried out with high accuracy and short time. Simulation results for heterogeneous scenarios demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed control plane architecture, as well as point out the limitations of current time-synchronization mechanisms when high-speed interfaces are considered.
提供具有保证性能的时间敏感和非时间敏感流
时敏网络(TSN)标准提供了调度和流量整形机制,以确保时敏(TS)和非时敏流量类别在同一网络基础设施上共存。尽管如此,我们仍需在此类具有 TSN 功能的网络基础设施的运行方面做出大量努力,以确保在网络中部署流量后,能够满足不同流量所需的性能(以关键性能指标定义)。在本文中,我们将重点关注这些方面,并提出一种解决方案,涉及 TS 流量的全网调度以及非 TS 流量的性能评估。具体来说,我们提出了一种控制平面架构,专门用于调配 TS 和非 TS 流量。该架构集成了:i) TS 流量调度规划器,用于定义沿路径请求的 TS 流量的调度,以满足其所需的性能;ii) 网络数字双胞胎,用于估算请求的和已建立的非 TS 流量的性能。与标准化的时间感知调度器不同的是,假设每个 TS 流量都有队列,以保证抖动最小。我们提出了高效的算法,从而能在短时间内高精度地提供流量。异构场景的仿真结果证明了所提控制平面架构的可行性和效率,并指出了当前时间同步机制在考虑高速接口时的局限性。
