From Time-Triggered Ethernet (SAE AS6802) to TTEthernetThe Time-Triggered Ethernet (SAE AS6802) standard defines a fault-tolerant synchronization strategy for building and maintaining synchronized time in Ethernet networks, and outlines mechanisms required for synchronous time-triggered packet switching for critical integrated applications, IMA and integrated modular architectures. SAE International has released SAE [https://www.sae.org/standards/content/as6802/ AS6802] in November 2011. Time-Triggered Ethernet network devices are Ethernet devices which at least implement:
TTEthernet (or TTE) network devices [https://www.tttech.com/markets/space/products/ from TTTech] are standard Ethernet devices with additional capability to configure and establish robust synchronization, synchronous packet switching, traffic scheduling and bandwidth partitioning, as described in SAE AS6802. If no time-triggered traffic capability is configured or used, [https://www.tttech.com/products/aerospace/ rugged TTEthernet devices] operate as full duplex switched Ethernet devices compliant with IEEE802.3 and IEEE802.1 standards. In addition, such network devices implement other deterministic traffic classes to enable mixed-criticality Ethernet networking. Therefore, TTEthernet networks are designed to host different Ethernet traffic classes without interference. TTEthernet device implementation expands standard Ethernet with services to meet time-critical, deterministic or safety-relevant requirements in double- and triple-redundant configurations for advanced integrated systems. TTEthernet switching devices are used for integrated systems and safety-related applications primarily in the aerospace, industrial controls and automotive[1] applications. Description TTEthernetTTEthernet network devices implement OSI Layer 2 services, and therefore it claims to be compatible with IEEE 802.3 standards and coexist with other Ethernet networks and services or traffic classes, such as IEEE 802.1Q, on the same device. Three traffic classes and message types are provided in current TTEthernet switch implementations:[2]
Three traffic classes cover different types of determinism - from soft-time best-effort traffic to "more deterministic" to "very deterministic" (max.latency defined per VL) to "strictly determnistic" (fixed latency, µs-jitter), thus creating a deterministic unified Ethernet networking technology. While standard full duplex switched Ethernet is typically best effort or more deterministic, time-triggered traffic is bound only to the system time progression and traffic scheduling, and not to priorities. It can be considered the highest priority traffic, above the highest priority 802.1Q VLAN traffic. Fault-toleranceTTEthernet (i.e. Ethernet switch with SAE AS6802) integrates a model of fault-tolerance and failure management {{citation needed|date=October 2015}}. TTEthernet switch can implement a reliable redundancy management and dataflow (datastream) integration to assure message transmission even in case of a switch failure. The SAE AS6802 implemented on an Ethernet switch supports the design of synchronous system architectures with defined fault-hypothesis. The single-failure hypothesis, dual-failure hypothesis, and tolerance against arbitrary synchronization disturbances define the basic fault-tolerance concept in a Time-Triggered Ethernet (SAE AS6802-based) network. Under the single-failure hypothesis, Time-Triggered Ethernet (SAE AS6802) is intended to tolerate either the fail-arbitrary failure of an end system or the fail-inconsistent-omission failure of a switch. The switches in Time-Triggered Ethernet network can be configured to execute a central bus guardian function. The central bus guardian function ensures that even if a set of end systems becomes arbitrarily faulty, it masks the system-wide impact of these faulty end systems by transforming the fail-arbitrary failure mode into an inconsistent-omission failure mode. The arbitrarily faulty failure mode also includes so called "babbling-idiot" behavior. Time-Triggered Ethernet switches therefore establish fault-containment boundaries. Under the dual-failure hypothesis, Time-Triggered Ethernet networks are intended to tolerate two fail-inconsistent-omission faulty devices. These devices may be two end systems, two switches, or an end system and a switch. The last failure scenario (i.e., end system and switch failure) means that Time-Triggered Ethernet network tolerates an inconsistent communication path between end systems. This failure mode is one of the most difficult to overcome. Time-Triggered Ethernet networks are intended to tolerate transient synchronization disturbances, even in the presence of permanent failures. Under both single- and dual-failure hypothesis, Time-Triggered Ethernet provides self-stabilization properties. Self-stabilization means that synchronization can reestablish itself, even after a transient upset in a multitude of devices in the distributed computer network. PerformanceTime-Triggered TrafficTime-triggered traffic is scheduled periodically, and depending on the architecture, line speed (e.g. 1GbE), topology and computing model with control loops operating at 0.1-5(+) kHz, using a time-triggered architecture (TTA) model of computation and communication. Hard real-time is possible at application level due to strict determinism, jitter control and alignment/synchronization between tasks and scheduled network messaging. In L-TTA (Loosely TTA) architectures with synchronous TTEthernet network, but with local computer clocks decoupled from system/network time the performance of control loops may be limited. In this case, time-triggered transmissions are necessarily cyclically scheduled and thus delays between processes in the application layer can be large, e.g. with plesiochronous processes operating on their own local clock and execution cycle, as is observed in systems using cyclic MIL-STD-1553B buses, up to twice the transmission interval due to released packets waiting for scheduled transmission at the source and for the receiving process to run at the destination. Rate-Constrained TrafficRate constrained traffic is another periodic time-sensitive traffic class, and it shall be modeled to align with time-triggered traffic (and vice versa) in order to fulfill maximum latency and jitter requirements. However, even where the sum of the allocated bandwidths is less than the capacity provided at every point in the network, delivery is still not guaranteed due, e.g., to potential buffer overflows at switch queues, etc., which simple limitation of bandwidths does not guarantee are avoided. Best Effort TrafficBest effort traffic will utilize network bandwitdth not used by rate-constrained and time-triggered traffic. In TTEthernet devices, this traffic class cannot interfere with deterministic traffic, as it resides in its own separate buffer memory. Moreover, it implements internal architecture which isolates best effort traffic on partitioned ports, from the traffic assigned to other ports. This mechanism can be associated with fine-grained IP traffic policing, to enable traffic control which is much more robust than VLANs with FIFO buffering. HistoryIn 2008, it was announced Honeywell would apply the technology to applications in the aerospace and automation industry.[4] In 2010 a switch-based implementation was shown to perform better than shared bus systems such as FlexRay for use in automobiles.[5] Since then, Time-Triggered Ethernet has been implemented in different industrial, space and automotive programs and components.
