Ethernet TSN Advanced Switch 10M/100M/1G/10G/25G - Manticore

Overview

Comcores Manticore 10M/100M/1G/10G/25G IP is an advanced Ethernet Switch with an extensive set of QoS features and statistics. The switch supports up to 8 queues, classification, VLAN 802.1Q, multicast and broadcast as well as IEEE 1588 transparent clock. Each port provides a native interface for Ethernet PHY devices. IEEE 802.1 Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement is available, specifying exact feature-set.

It can provide support for key TSN features including IEEE 802.1Qbu and 802.3br Frame preemption, 802.1Qbv Time aware shaping, 802.1Qav Credit based shaping, 802.1Qci Per-Stream Filtering and Policing, and 802.1CB Frame replication and elimination for reliability. This enables the use of the IP in high speed time-critical applications.

What is TSN?

Morten Kofoed Esbjørn - Feb 14, 2023. TSN, or Time-Sensitive Networking, is a technology based on the IEEE 802.1Q standard. It has evolved from the Ethernet technology currently used to carry all types of traffic, for which ethernet was not originally intended, such as multiple data flows with different timing requirements, commonly found in Audio Video Bridging (AVB), automotive and industrial automation applications. TSN sits in Layer 2 of the OSI Model (figure 1).Figure 1: Illustration of...

O-RAN Fronthaul Security using MACsec

WHITEPAPER - O-RAN Fronthaul Security using MACsec With 5G being deployed for time-sensitive applications, security is becoming an important consideration. At the same time, Open Radio Access Networks (RAN) are gaining more interest from mobile carriers and governments. Yet, Open RAN networks have serious security challenges, especially in the RAN fronthaul where there are strict timing requirements. This paper proposes MACsec as an efficient data link layer security solution that can assist...
