s3, the end system injects the time-sensitive message into the TSN according to the TSN time; wherein, the TSN network time is acquired through a time announcement control frame.
In the step S1, an API application program generates a time-sensitive message and sends the time-sensitive message through a software API programming interface, at the moment, the software API programming interface cannot immediately send the time-sensitive message to a TSN (time series transport network) network, a software API programming interface function cannot return before the time-sensitive message is not sent to the TSN network, and the API application program is in a blocking waiting state; thus, in this embodiment, the time-sensitive message is stored in the end system through the API application.
It should be noted that the API application program needs to be programmed based on the software API to control the time-sensitive packet to be injected into the TSN network; an end system refers to all hosts connected to the internet.
In step S2, the TSN network equipment sends a time announcement control frame to the end system at the appointed announcement time according to the preset configuration information; in this embodiment, the TSN network device refers to a first-hop TSN network device, and the first-hop TSN network device refers to a TSN network device that receives a time-sensitive packet first after each time of injecting the time-sensitive packet into the TSN network within a preset time.
The time announcement control frame refers to a control frame which carries TSN network time information and is sent to an end system by TSN network equipment, is a beacon of time announcement and aims to inform the end system to inject a time-sensitive message into the TSN network according to specified time.
The time announcement control frame includes an ethernet frame header and a data field, as shown in table 1, the ethernet frame header includes a MAC address of the end-system device, a native SMAC address, and an ethernet type; the data field includes task id, check value, notification time, and current hardware synchronization time for sending time notification control frames, represented by SyncTime field.
Table 1 time announcement control frame format table
Figure SMS_1
In step S3, after receiving the time announcement control frame, the end system senses the time of the TSN network and injects the time-sensitive packet into the TSN network, and at this time, the software API programming interface function immediately returns, and if the application program finishes the blocking waiting state, step S1 may be executed again.
Preferably, before step S1, the method further includes: and acquiring the transmission delay jitter of the end system.
Specifically, the transmission delay jitter refers to a change in transmission delay from when an application program of the end system receives a time-sensitive packet from a network interface to when the application program sends the time-sensitive packet to the network interface.
It should be noted that, the transmission delay jitter value is obtained to accurately calculate the time when the TSN network device sends the time announcement frame.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, the acquiring the transmission delay jitter of the end system specifically includes:
A1. acquiring the maximum transmission delay of an end system and the minimum transmission delay of the end system;
A2. and acquiring the transmission delay jitter of the end system according to the maximum transmission delay of the end system and the minimum transmission delay of the end system.
In the steps A1 to A2, the maximum transmission delay max _ delay of the end system and the minimum transmission delay min _ delay of the end system are measured in advance; the difference value between the maximum transmission delay max _ delay and the minimum transmission delay min _ delay is the transmission delay jitter of the end system; the maximum transmission delay max _ delay of the end system refers to the maximum value of the transmission delay from the time when the application program of the end system receives the time sensitive message from the network interface to the time when the application program sends the time sensitive message to the network interface; the minimum transmission delay min _ delay of the end system refers to the minimum value of the transmission delay from the time when the application program on the end system receives the time-sensitive message from the network interface to the time when the application program sends the time-sensitive message to the network interface.
It should be noted that, by setting the CPU core exclusively occupied by the application program and improving the scheduling priority of the application program, those skilled in the art make the transmission delay jitter on the end system stable and the transmission delay value small.
Preferably, the preset configuration information in S2 includes a time announcement list;
the time notification table comprises a table look-up result field and a table look-up key word field;
the table lookup result field comprises an MAC address, a task id and a check value of the end system equipment;
the lookup table key field includes the announcement time.
It should be noted that the MAC address of the end-system device is represented by a DMAC field, and is used to identify which end-system device the time announcement control frame is sent to; the task id is represented by a task id field and is used for identifying which application program of the end system equipment the time announcement control frame is sent to; the check value is represented by cookies fields and is used for checking the time announcement control frame by the application program; the notification time is represented by a DispatcPit field and is used for identifying the time when the TSN network equipment sends the time notification control frame;
wherein, the announce moment DispatcPit needs to be according to the minimum transmission delay of the planning information and the end system
Figure SMS_2
Calculating; the planning information includes the characteristics of the time-sensitive message, such as the traffic period, the forwarding path, the delay requirement, and the priority queue, the arrival time window, and the sending time of the time-sensitive message in each hop of the TSN network device in the TSN network.

Wherein
Figure SMS_5
And is and
Figure SMS_6
Figure SMS_7
is an offset time relative to the start of the preset cyclic scheduling period; the formula for calculating the announcement time is:
Figure SMS_8
in this embodiment, a time window for injecting a time-sensitive packet from an end system into a TSN network is set to be not less than a transmission delay jitter value on the end system; cycleLen represents a preset cyclic scheduling period.
It should be noted that, the planning scheduling and the time-aware shaping of the time-sensitive packet by the TSN network are both based on a fixed cycle scheduling period as a unit; the time when the end system controls the time sensitive message to be injected into the TSN and the time when the TSN equipment sends the time announcement control frame are offset time relative to the beginning of the preset cycle scheduling period.
Time-aware shaping refers to controlling output scheduling using a gating mechanism in order to support deterministic data exchange. Each port has a set of programmable gates, and the opening and closing of each queue is controlled by a respective gate. The gated state is configured by a pre-programmed schedule. Only if the corresponding gate is open, the message in its corresponding queue may be scheduled for transmission. Cyclic control of periodic time-sensitive traffic is achieved by repeatedly executing sequences of gating events.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 3, step S2 specifically includes:
s21, according to whether the offset time starting relative to the preset cyclic scheduling period currently matches a time announcement list or not;
and S22, if the current offset time is matched with the time notification table, generating and sending a time notification control frame at the current moment.
In steps S21 to S22, in this embodiment, after the TSN network device synchronizes the overall network time, the offset time matching schedule table corresponding to the start of the preset cyclic scheduling period is used, and if the current offset time is matched with the time matching schedule table, a time matching control frame is generated and sent to the end system at the current time.
