Realtime / Time Sensitivity Support

[raphaelhetzel]

We should explore options for supporting realtime guarantees in bounded networks.

Hi @raphaelhetzel that could be interesting. With bounded networks do you mean specifically TSN, or more in general any network where there could be some reasonable control by the owner/administrator?

With bounded networks, I was mostly referring to a network in which it is possible to use technologies such as TSN to achieve these properties. A domain might be limited to a single class of devices so might be too limited, and a cluster might actually use a WAN that makes this impossible. So probably something between those not covered by current concepts.

In all cases, we need to be able to rely on TSN / something like TSN (even a CAN data plane backend can work in some situations) to do this.
