Fair-Queued Ethernet for Medical Applications

Stephan Pöhlsen, Frank Franz, Kai Kück, Jörg Uwe Meyer, Christian Werner

Abstract

Ethernet is becoming an accepted standard for more and more medical applications. It is a best-effort network standard without any transmission guarantees. However, in medical applications real-time transmission guarantees are getting more and more important. In this paper we discuss typical performance bottlenecks in medical networks and present an easy to implement solution to this problem. A fair-queued Ethernet switch with max-min fair scheduling is used to achieve transmission guarantees even in the presence of ill-behaved sources. This approach only replaces the switch hardware and thus works with unmodified hard-and software in end nodes.
