TSN Box Development – TSN Box 3.0 Getting Started Guide
This setup illustrates the capability of merging three packet streams from separate sources through a merging
module. The sources are (in order of priority):
• Packets from a pcapng file
• PTP packets generated by the ptp module
• Best-effort packets generated by a packet generator module
The packets contained in the pcapng file, being the first priority, will be emitted from the merging module at the
same rate as which they were captured. When an interval in the packet stream arises that is sufficient in size to
merge anyPTP packets incoming from thePTP module, they will be merged. Only when there is an interval that
allows a best effort packet to be merged, but not a PTP packet, will the best effort packet be merged. The merged
packet stream is emitted from the merging module to the FPGA module to be sent out on FPGA port 1.
This setup sets the role for T1 port 1 to Master, the transmit source to fpga_tx, and the capture source to phy_rx.
