Abstract
|
Today, Ethernet is the most widely used local area networking (LAN) technology. Apart from LAN installations, Ethernet became also attractive for other application areas, ranging from telecommunications to industry and avionics. The range of application areas for Ethernet keeps growing. Since each application area has its unique requirements, the IEEE and interest groups have enhanced the Ethernet standards. In future, they will keep this evaluation going. In this paper, we present a component-based simulation model of a switched Ethernet network to evaluate enhancements to the Ethernet standards. We decompose the network entities into a hierarchy of components interconnected in a plug-n-play manner. These components form the basis of the simulation program. Finally, we show the applicability of the simulation model and its implementation by using examples from the automotive domain.
