Abstract

Recent trends in distributed embedded systems have shown an increase in the amount and heterogeneity of the information that needs to be exchanged, together with a growing importance of supporting dynamic reconfiguration and adaptive behaviors. In this paper we focus on Ethernet technology and we address the case of middle-size networking infrastructure with a few switches. We use the FTT-SE protocol to support dynamic heterogeneous real-time transactions with temporal isolation and we propose the needed scheduling adaptations to support multi-hop network configurations. The paper also includes a companion worst-case response-time analysis that allows verifying the timeliness of the system.
