TSN Network Infrastructure

What is TSN, how does it work & why is it important?

TSN is an extension of standard Ethernet that regulates the data communication in Layer 2 – Data Link of the OSI reference model. Its main aim is to make standard Ethernet deterministic but it also provides the mechanisms to allow multiple types of traffic to share the same network, providing the basis of convergence.
