1 How can I get the most out of Automotive Ethernet? System level network simulation for the design and evaluation of upcoming Ethernet-based architectures Till Steinbach 1 Franz Korf 1 René Röllig 2 Thomas Eymann 2 till.steinbach@haw-hamburg.de 1 Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany) 2 IAV GmbH - Ingenieurgesellschaft Auto und Verkehr (Germany) October 24, IEEE-SA Ethernet & Automotive Technology Day COBO Center, Detroit, Michigan

2 Prototypes are great, but... Prototypes are... expensive time consuming from communication perspective: more or less a blackbox Problem Statement Distributed systems Contribution Examples 2 / 16

3 Problem Statement Why system level network simulation? Systems based on automotive Ethernet require analysis in many dimensions: Topology decisions Huge number of parameters Concurrent transmission Interference effects of different traffic classes Early system level simulation can be used to sufficiently dimension hardware... choose suitable protocols... find working configuration... understand complex effects of a system Problem Statement Distributed systems Contribution Examples 3 / 16

4 Dealing with complex Ethernet-based distributed systems Asynchronous Cycles Congestion, Prioritization Shaping, Scheduling Camera Camera Camera Camera Aggregation/Caching Problem Statement Distributed systems Contribution Examples FlexRay Gateway Gateway CAN Synchronization Arbitration Non trivial behaviour with several systems using shared Ethernet based infrastructure! 4 / 16

5 Contribution Open Simulator for Automotive Ethernet Idea: Knowledge transfer from computer networks Established OpenSource tools Large developer community Expertise with large and complex networks Goal: Extending established network simulator with automotive technologies... real-time aspects... interfaces to established tools Problem Statement Distributed systems Contribution Examples 5 / 16
