Active network tap supporting time sensitive network (TSN) standards

Abstract:

A method for providing a network tap supporting time sensitive network standards includes scanning, by an active network tap, received frames on a network port of the active network tap to identify timing synchronization messages of targeted message types. The method further includes identifying a timing synchronization message of the targeted message type. The method further includes modifying a timing value in the timing synchronization message to account for delay introduced by the active network tap. The method further includes forwarding the timing synchronization message with the modifying timing value to a destination time sensitive network node via an egress network port of the active network tap.
