Modelling and Simulation of Scheduling Policies Implemented in Ethernet Switch by Using Coloured Petri Nets

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to propose models enabling to study the behaviour of Ethernet switch for Networked Control Systems. Two scheduler policies are analyzed: the static priority and the WRR (Weighted Round Robin). The modelling work is based on Coloured Petri Nets. A temporal validation step based on the simulation of these modelling, shows that the obtained results are near to the expected behaviour of these scheduler policies.
