In recent years, datacenters, network devices and computers have proliferated. The power consumed by information and communication technology (ICT) devices has inflated in an extraordinary manner. Green communication has emerged as a new approach to reduce and optimize power consumption in ICT sector. Many methods and protocols have been proposed and implemented to achieve green communication. Nevertheless, the increase of power consumption remains a problem. In this work, we attempt to reduce and optimize power consumption of network devices in datacenters environment utilizing software defined network (SDN) paradigm. To gain more insight of the power consumption requirements of network switches, a power measurement system is constructed to measure power consumption levels of network devices. Subsequently, we propose a duplication resolver algorithm (DRA) to power off/on switches reactively. DRA algorithm reduces the required time by switches to construct their flow tables after rebooting. To this end, DRA-based external circuit has been constructed utilizing Ethernet module and an Arduino kit to control power supplies of network devices. To facilitate our work, a testbed has been constructed utilizing Ryu SDN controller, HP2920-24G switches and Arduino kits. Our results show that DRA algorithm can reduce both the power usage and start-up time delay of network switches after failures.

DCS has many processing components and various communication elements. And its communication delay characteristic is affected diverse operating situation and context. Especially, binding signal which traversed from one control-node to another control-node undergo all sort of delay conditions. So its delay value has large deviation with the lapse of time, and the measurement of delay statistics during long time is very difficult by using general oscilloscope or other normal instruments. This thesis introduces the design and implementation of PC-based BDAS(Binding Delay Analysis System) System developed to overcomes these hardships. The system has signal-generator, IO-card, data-acquisition module, delay-calculation and analyzer module, those are implemented on industrial standard PC/Ethernet hardware and Windows/Linux platforms. This system can detect accurate whole-system-wide delay time including io, control processing and network delay, in the resolution of msec unit, and can analyze each channel's delay-historic data which is maintained by realtime database. So, this system has strong points of open system architecture, for example, user-friendly environment, low cost, high compatibility, simplicity of maintenance and high extension ability. Of all things, the measuring capability of long-time delay-statistics obtained through historic-DB make the system more valuable and useful, which function is essential to analyze accurate delay performance of DCS system. Using this system, the verification of delay performance of DCS for nuclear power plants is succeeded in KNICS(Korea Nuclear Instrumentation & Control System) projects

EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based fieldbus system standardized in IEC 61158 and SEMI, and widely used in the fields of factory automation, semiconductor equipment and robotics. In this paper, we summarize the current status of Xenomai real-time framework and RTnet, which are essential for Linux operating systems to operate in real-time, and implement a real-time EtherCAT master system with these open sources. The real-time performance of the implemented EtherCAT master is evaluated according to Intel network controllers 82574L, I219, I210, and I225, respectively. The results show that the implemented EtherCAT master provides precise control performance for control frequencies from 1KHz to 8KHz and similar performance for I219, I210, and I225, and relatively slightly larger jitter for 82574L.

This paper proposes an extended TCP/IP protocol, LAN/TCP, that can be used for the distributed soft real-time systems connected through the Ethernet-based local area network. Since LAN/TCP shows soft real-time performance with keeping compatibility and interoperability with the standard TCP/IP, the existing application software can be used without any modification. LAN/TCP also provides the periodic transmission mode(PTM) with which the periodical data collection and updating the control signals can be efficiently implemented with relatively small traffic overhead. This paper includes the computer simulation and experimental results of the proposed protocol.

Fire and disaster broadcasting systems are divided into analog, digital, and network-based digital public address systems, and important specifications in network-based digital public address systems are low-latency audio, high sampling rate, and multi-channel input and output. In the past, it has been widely used to the AoE method for distinguishing based on the MAC address of the data link layer. However, this method has a problem of increasing complexity and cost. This proposal is an AoIP/UDP method, which allows communication to be easily distinguished by IP address without the need for a separate redundant network, so that the network can be freely used and configured, and cost can be reduced by reducing complexity. After implementing the AoIP/UDP method, the experimental results showed that the cost was improved with the equivalent performance with 2.66ms latency.

This paper presents the implementation and performance of the HVIA-GE card, which is a hardware implementation of the Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) based on Gigabit Ethernet. The HVIA-GE card is a 32-bit/33MHz PCI adapter containing an FPGA for the VIA protocol engine and a Gigabit Ethernet chip set to construct a high performance physical network. HVIA-GE performs virtual-to-physical address translation, Doorbell, and send/receive completion operations in hardware without kernel intervention. In particular, the Address Translation Table (ATT) is stored on the local memory of the HVIA-GE card, and the VIA protocol engine efficiently controls the address translation process by directly accessing the ATT. As a result, the communication overhead during send/receive transactions is greatly reduced. Our experimental results show the maximum bandwidth of 93.7MB/s and the minimum latency of 11.9${\mu}\textrm{s}$. In terms of minimum latency HVIA-GE performs 4.8 times and 9.9 times faster than M-VIA and TCP/IP, respectively, over Gigabit Ethernet. In addition, the maximum bandwidth of HVIA-GE is 50.4% and 65% higher than M-VIA and TCP/IP respectively.
