The limits of convergence of data networks
Our experience shows that – today – not every Ethernet-based network can be planned, implemented, and operated in the same way. A wrong approach with regard to attaining full network convergence carries high risks. Since Ethernet-based communication has become more and more prevalent in industrial networks, special network designs – geared towards the requirements of the applications – have establ…
