This work explores a network architecture that combines the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm with a partitioning system for real-time networks based on the Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards. The aim of the addressed architecture is to enforce temporal isolation for the flows already foreseen at the network design time, so that their delays are not affected by the introduction of new flows in the network at run time. The work describes the design of the proposed architecture and presents a preliminary experimental assessment obtained over commercial-off-the-shelf TSN-compliant switches.
