ence features, sophisticated QoS beyond standard
Ethernet, and many other features optimized for
industrial requirements. Re-using these capabilities
in an optimal manner is another challenge for fu-
ture work.
Traffic Engineering adapted to the slice system:
considering the specific capabilities and require-
ments in this industrial domain, TE algorithms
known from other areas must be analysed and
adapted.
Further more, implementation issues and stand-
ardization have to be considered. The first topic is
addressed by a Linux-based proof-of-concept, which
forms a test bed for future enhancements. Concern-
ing standardization, the authors believe that engag-
ing IETF Forces or the OpenFlow community may
be a way to proceed, but also Industrial Ethernet
standardization must be addressed.
