The most comprehensive Testbed for TSN
RELYUM offers a Complete, Flexible and Powerful solution for testing and validating Time-Sensitive Networking technology in sector like Industrial Automation, Automotive, Railway, Aerospace and Defence among others.
Complete TSN validation
RELYUM has developed one of the most complete TSN technology In the market, with support for a large number of standards:
- IEEE 802.1AS : Timing and Synchronization
- IEEE 802.1Qbv: Enhancements for Scheduled Traffic
- IEEE 802.1Qav: Forwarding and Queuing Enhancements for Time-Sensitive Streams
- IEEE 802.1Qcc: Enhancements for Stream Reservation Protocol
- IEEE 802.1Qbu: Frame Preemption
- IEEE 802.1CB: Frame Replication and Elimination for Reliability
- IEEE 802.1w: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
- IEEE 802.1AB: Link Layer Discovery Protocol
- IEEE 8802.1Qci: Per-Stream Filtering and Policing – available in Q1 2022
Flexible traffic characterization
RELYUM allows to characterize all the traffic types identified in critical sectors: Scheduled / Real-time traffic (Cyclic or Isochronous for control operation), Reserved traffic (Audio/video with user-experience requirements), Best effort traffic or congestion traffic.
With RELYUM’s endpoint NIC, application data received through the PCIe interface are processed for its injection into a TSN network. As a result, a COTS or legacy computer can perform as a TSN device.
Moreover, this device can be supplied with an embedded tool for generating the traffic transmitted to the network based on predefined parameters: Ethertype, VLAN ID, PCP, number of packets, frame length, time interval, etc.
When PCIe slot is not available in the endpoint device, VLAN ID and PCP can be directly assigned in the TSN switch as a way to identify the traffic in the network.
Powerful setup configuration
Relyum devices support multiple configuration mechanisms, which simplify the management of the setup:
- IEEE 802.1Qcc support with Netconf protocol, based on YANG modeled data exchange; compatible with commercial CNCs.
- CLI access/configuration through SSH.
- Web-based HTML5-GUI access/configuration, accessible through HTTP(S), including configuration profiles and Firmware updates, and Real-time network monitoring.
- Configuration scripts for managing multiple devices simultaneously.
