Time-Sensitive Networking: Precision Time Protocol & Selected TSN Use Cases
This course explores specific commercial applications that rely on TSN principles. For each application, the specific challenges associated with their data flows and network architectures will be reviewed. The application of TSN methods and tools within these applications to provide reliable real-time communications will be examined with a view toward best architectural practices for these networks. Finally, how each of these applications has instigated the evolution and objectives of TSN will be discussed.
What you will learn:
- A deeper understanding of Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and Synchronization
- Challenges owing to network topologies and technologies
- Challenges associated with application requirements
- TSN mechanisms to resolve identified challenges

Instructors
Geoffrey Garner
Geoffrey M. Garner is a consultant specializing in network synchronization and related standards development. Since 2008, he has served as a consultant for Huawei Technologies and before that, he consulted for Samsung, Broadcom, Marvell, Hirschmann, Siemens, and Internet Photonics. Prior to consulting, he was a member of the technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories and a distinguished member of the technical staff at Lucent Technologies. He has been the editor of IEEE 802.1AS since 2006 and has contributed to the development of the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and the IEC/IEEE 60802 TSN Profile for Industrial Automation. Garner is a member of the IEEE Registration Authority Committee (RAC) as well as a Senior Member of IEEE. His standardization work includes the modeling and simulation of time error performance in networks based on PTP. In addition, he received the IEEE Standards Association Medallion in 2021. Garner earned his Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, and doctorate degrees from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Jordon Woods
Jordon Woods is the product line director for Analog Devices’ line of industrial Ethernet products. Woods has 35 years of experience in the semiconductor industry. He is familiar with a variety of Ethernet-based industrial protocols, including Profinet, Ethernet/IP, as well as IEEE 802.1AS and other emerging TSN standards. Woods is also a voting member of the IEEE 802 working group defining new Ethernet standards for time-sensitive networks and the editor of the IEC/IEEE 60802 Time-Sensitive Networking Profile for Industrial Automation.
Silvana Rodrigues
Silvana Rodrigues holds an electronic and electrical engineering degree from the University of Campinas, Brazil. She has been working on network synchronization and actively contributing to synchronization standards development for more than 15 years. She has been the secretary of IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Working Group since the beginning of the work on IEEE 1588 version 2. Rodrigues is the editor of IEEE Std. 802.1ASdr and she participates and contributes to several IEEE 802.1 TSN working groups. She is also currently the associate rapporteur and editor of several recommendations at ITU-T SG15 Q13 (the synchronization experts' group).
