ZIGGO is a flexible, standard-compliant, and control-function-virtualized TSN switch platform ready for industrial control, automotive electronics, and other time-sensitive applications.
This is the document for the ZIGGO TSNPerf. ZIGGO TSNPerf is a flexible, comprehensive and user-friendly TSN evaluation toolkit. It provides protocol compliance assesment and network performance evaluation. The following figure illustrates the similarities and differences between ZIGGO TSNPerf and iPerf3.
We provide a demonstration video of the TSN switch. It demonstrates the superior performance of the ZIGGO-CaaS-Switch compared to the normal switch.
The left side of the picture is the ZYNQ development board we use, and the right side is the TSN display board we built.

ZIGGO TSNPerf provides protocol compliance assesment and network performance evaluation. It is an all-round hardware-software integrated solution, including
-
Precise replay and recording of critical traffic.
-
IEEE 802.1Qbv protocol compliance assesment.
-
GCL capability, bandwidth guarantee and GCL accuracy testing.
Please refer to TSNPerf documents to get prepared.
We exploit ZIGGO TSNPerf to conduct a comprehensive test on a Brand A TSN switch. The following figures show the test results for GCL capability, bandwidth guarantee, and GCL accuracy for the Brand A switch. The results reveal that the Brand A TSN switch provides high-priority resource reservation (i.e., gating capability) and bandwidth guarantees for critical traffic, but its GCL accuracy is low, failing to meet the requirements of the IEEE 802.1Qbv protocol.
For more details of this test case, please refer to the test report.
