Recently, new shaping mechanisms and timed gates were applied to achieve such guarantees nonetheless, but they require support for these new mechanisms in the forwarding devices. This document presents a per-hop latency bound for individual streams in a class-based network that applies the IEEE 802.1Q strict priority transmission selection algorithm. It is based on self-pacing talkers and uses the accumulated latency fields during the reservation process to provide upper bounds with bridge-local information. The presented delay bound is proven mathematically and then evaluated with respect to its accuracy. It indicates the required information that must be provided for admission control, e.g., implemented by a resource reservation protocol such as IEEE 802.1Qdd. Further, it hints at potential improvements regarding new mechanisms and higher accuracy given more information.}, subject = {Echtzeit}, language = {en} } @techreport{GrigorjewMetzgerHossfeldetal.2020, author = {Grigorjew, Alexej and Metzger, Florian and Hoßfeld, Tobias and Specht, Johannes and G{\"o}tz, Franz-Josef and Chen, Feng and Schmitt, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Asynchronous Traffic Shaping with Jitter Control}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-20582}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-205824}, pages = {8}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Asynchronous Traffic Shaping enabled bounded latency with low complexity for time sensitive networking without the need for time synchronization. However, its main focus is the guaranteed maximum delay. Jitter-sensitive applications may still be forced towards synchronization. This work proposes traffic damping to reduce end-to-end delay jitter. It discusses its application and shows that both the prerequisites and the guaranteed delay of traffic damping and ATS are very similar. Finally, it presents a brief evaluation of delay jitter in an example topology by means of a simulation and worst case estimation.}, subject = {Echtzeit}, language = {en} } @techreport{AngnideBielitskaBorchertetal.2020, author = {Angnide, Enarile and Bielitska, Iryna and Borchert, Leon and Braun, Louisa and B{\"u}hler, Pascal and Chen, Xinyue and Ho, Katherina and Hofmann, Lena and Kebekus, Melvin and Kubsch, Torbj{\"o}rn and Li, Alexander and Lin, Simon and Mischer, Andreas and Mogus, Mateja and Schmid, Fabian and Schneidawind, Luisa and Voss, Manuela and Wilson, Claire and Wieteska, Filip and Yu, Linda}, title = {Chinese Entanglements in Lower Franconian Business}, editor = {Lindner, Jonas and Fischer, Doris}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-20987}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-209876}, pages = {219}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Using own survey data and interviews, this study analyzes how businesses in Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) are entangled with China.
