Name

Type

Description

AlwaysOpenGateScheduleConfigurator

simple module

Provides a trivial gate scheduling algorithm that keeps all gates in the network open all the time.

EagerGateScheduleConfigurator

simple module

Provides a gate scheduling algorithm that eagerly reserves time slots for the configured streams in the order of their priority (0 being the lowest). The allocation makes sure that only one gate (traffic category) is open in all network interfaces at any given moment of time. This strategy may result in wasting too much time of the gate cycle and thus end up failing.

TSNschedGateScheduleConfigurator

simple module

Provides a gate scheduling configurator that uses the TSNsched tool which is available at https://github.com/ACassimiro/TSNsched. Tested revision: 3f3bf663d196ec6c03e81a1e1392d4aefd158e3e

Z3GateScheduleConfigurator

simple module

Provides a gate scheduling algorithm that uses the open source z3 SAT solver from Microsoft. In order to be able to use this module, the corresponding ‘Z3 Gate Scheduling Configurator’ feature must be enabled and the libz3-dev package must be installed.
