Data Delivery
Data delivered over White Rabbit network is divided into:
- Best Effort data - as in any standard Ethernet network,
- Critical data - unlike in a standard Ethernet network, White Rabbit Network provides deterministic and reliable method of data delivery
White Rabbit provides delivery of critical data
- with guaranteed upper bound latency
- in a deterministic way
- reliably
- transparently to "standard" (best effort) data delivery
White Rabbit critical data delivery is a combination of
- standard solutions (802.1Q priorities, VLANs, Quality of Service)
- hardware support to standard solutions
- enhancements to existing protocols
White Rabbit critical data delivery method is
- a network-wide effort (it affects switches and nodes)
- compatible with standard Ethernet and interoperable with standard Ethernet gear
- handed in a sub-project: White Rabbit Network Robustness
Short description of critical data delivery in a White Rabbit Network
Detailed description of robustness in White Rabbit:
- An article about robustness in White Rabbit
- A presentation about critical data delivery (including usecaes of two future applications)
- Very detailed descriptions of the ideas:
