• TSN hardware performs

B’ A’ replication/elimination
• Zero time failover if 1 path fails
Talker Listener • No need for upper level retry
mechanisms
• Simpler code base with reliability
B’’ A’’

Talker replicates Ethernet • Listener provides first Ethernet

frames and sends over frame that arrives to application
multiple paths to Listener • Listener removes duplicates

• Clause 6 of 802.1CB defines 4 stream identification functions:

Stream identification Examines Overwrites
function
Null DMAC, VLAN ID None
Source MAC and VLAN SMAC, VLAN ID None
Active Destination MAC and DMAC, VLAN ID DMAC, VLAN ID, VLAN PCP
VLAN
IP DMAC, VLAN ID, IP SRC, IP None
DST, DSCP, IP Next Proto,
Source Port, Destination Port

• The LS1028A switch supports the Null Stream Identification.

− Thismeans that based on the MAC table (FDB rules), the switch may perform a lookup and
associate {DMAC, VLAN} pairs with a Seamless Stream ID (SSID).

LS1028ARDB Board 1 • Use 802.1CB to create redundant

MAC 0 SWP0 SWP1 SWP2 SWP3
streams between 2 LS1028A devices
• Instant failover if one of the links fails
• Use Cases:
− Wireless links
▪ (microwave, point-to-point)
− Critical control and data paths
LS1028ARDB Board 2
▪ (automotive, data center, industrial)
