Time-Sensitive Networking: Time Synchronization and Audio Video Bridging
This course discusses the challenges that engendered the need for time-sensitive networking (TSN). In the early days of modern packet-based networks, a number of time-sensitive payloads required special handling to maintain fidelity as they traversed from the sender talker to the receiver listener across multiple networks. The importance of synchronization will be explained along with a discussion about what an “understanding of time” refers to and how synchronization is maintained. The most obvious applications, and the first to be dealt with in the TSN toolset, are audio and video streams. This course will also introduce TSN standards, including the first standard profiling tools from the TSN toolset in support of audio and video bridging.
What you will learn:
- Concepts and practices of time and synchronization, as well as an introduction to the first time-sensitive applications available, specifically Audio Video Bridging
- The relationship between the concepts and practices of synchronization to the delivery of audio/video with required fidelity
- Important definitions for time-sensitive networking (TSN)
- Synchronized capture, playback, and plug-and-play operations over a number of network configurations and conditions
- Benefits and challenges of shared network resources and the tools for mitigating or eliminating the issue of dropped packets
- The standards developed around audio/video and the difference between base standards and profiles

Instructor
Don Pannell
Don Pannell has architected Ethernet switches and networking solutions for over 25 years, focusing on Automotive Ethernet solutions for the last 15 years. He has been an active participant and contributor in both IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.1 for almost 25 years. Don organized the 802.3 Call for Interest (CFI) for RTPGE resulting in the 1000BASE-T1 Automotive PHY that exists today, and he started the Time Aware Shaper project in 802.1, known as IEEE 802.1Qbv. More recently he helped start the new 802.1 TSN Automotive Profile project (P802.1DG) and the IEEE P802.1ASds amendment to add 10BASE-T1S support to gPTP. Don is currently Secretary of the IEEE 1722 working group and editor of the new IEEE 1722b standard (which standardizes end node protocols for AVB/TSN). He has been a lead architect for over 30 years at companies including Sierra Semiconductor, I‐Cube, Marvell and now NXP. Don currently has over 95 patents granted. He received the BSEE degree from Loyola University in California, USA.
