TSN is an emerging name, but it is not a new technology. It is an IEEE 802.1 TSN task force composed of a series of Ethernet sub-standard definitions and is a technology extending from the field of video and audio data to the field of industry and automobile making. Initially, TSN evolved out of the application need in the audio-video field called “AVB”. Audio and video networks that require high bandwidth and high real time can effectively transmit high-quality audio and video with the help of AVB.
In 2006, IEEE 802.1 working group set up AVB Audio and Video Bridging Task Force, aiming at addressing the obstacles of real-time synchronous transmission of data in audio and video networks. Six years later, the AVB Task Force expanded the application requirements and scope of time-deterministic Ethernet in 2012 and was renamed as the TSN Task Force.
As mentioned above, TSN, as a new generation network standard based on Ethernet, has the functions of time synchronization and delay guarantee. In the industrial field, TSN realizes the series connection from the control level to the operation level. TSN is an international standard developed by IEEE, which is more authoritative and will become the first choice for industrial communication in the future.
