6.2.3 Performance optimization
• The SMV messages should be filtered out from the local subnetwork part not
using these, because they cause high traffic in the network. Otherwise they reach
also those network devices that do not subscribe the SMV messages. Managed
Ethernet switches can be configured to perform the filtering operation.
• IEEE 1588 v2 network devices complying with Power Profile are highly
recommended to simplify the settings and to ensure compatibility. Power Profile
and HSR standard recommend implementation according to the one-step mode.
• It is recommended to use IEEE 1588 v2 devices with the same clock mode (one-
step or two-step) within one network. Ethernet switches performing one-step to
two-step conversions should be avoided due to additional inaccuracy.
• One SMV publisher generates around 5 Mbit/s traffic to the network. This is
about 5% of bandwidth in PRP and 10% in HSR when the bandwidth of the used
network is 100 Mb/s.
