[[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

**Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)** is a set of [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:e:ethernet|Ethernet]] sub-standards defined in the [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:i:ieee|IEEE]] 802.1 TSN Task Group. TSN focuses on creating a convergence between [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:i:infotech]] and industrial operational technology (OT) by extending and adapting existing Ethernet standards.

TSN technology aims to standardize features on [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:o:osi|OSI]]-Layer 2 in order that different protocols can share the same infrastructure. The challenge lies in configuring critical and non-critical data traffic so that neither real-time characteristics nor [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:p:performance|performance]] is impaired.
