Time-Sensitive Networking For New Ethernet Bridging Applications

Silvana Rodrigues holds an electronic and electrical engineering degree from the University of Campinas, Brazil. She has been working on network synchronization and actively contributing to synchronization standards development for more than 15 years. She has been the secretary of IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Working Group since the beginning of the work on IEEE 1588 version 2. Rodrigues is the editor of IEEE Std. 802.1ASdr and she participates and contributes to several IEEE 802.1 TSN working groups. She is also currently the associate rapporteur and editor of several recommendations at ITU-T SG15 Q13 (the synchronization experts’ group).

János Farkas is a principal researcher of the Deterministic Networking at Ericsson. He is active in standardization of deterministic networking technologies in packet networks, for which he received the IEEE Standards Association Medallion. He serves as the Chair of the IEEE 802.1 Time-Sensitive Networking Task Group, and as the Co-Chair of the IETF Deterministic Networking Working Group. He holds Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary.

Geoffrey M. Garner is a consultant specializing in network synchronization and related standards development. Since 2008, he has served as a consultant for Huawei Technologies and before that, he consulted for Samsung, Broadcom, Marvell, Hirschmann, Siemens, and Internet Photonics. Prior to consulting, he was a member of the technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories and a distinguished member of the technical staff at Lucent Technologies. He has been the editor of IEEE 802.1AS since 2006 and has contributed to the development of the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and the IEC/IEEE 60802 TSN Profile for Industrial Automation. Garner is a member of the IEEE Registration Authority Committee (RAC) as well as a Senior Member of IEEE. His standardization work includes the modeling and simulation of time error performance in networks based on PTP. In addition, he received the IEEE Standards Association Medallion in 2021. Garner earned his Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts, and doctorate degrees from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Glenn Parsons is a principal standardization advisor at Ericsson. He is an internationally known expert in networking, including mobile transport and Ethernet. Over the past number of years, he has held several leadership positions in various standards activities including IETF, IEEE-SA, and ITU-T. He is currently Chair of the IEEE 802.1 working group. In addition to being the founding Editor-in-Chief for IEEE Communications Standards Magazine, he was previously a Senior Technical Editor for IEEE Communications Magazine. He holds a B.Eng. degree in electrical engineering from Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.

Jordon Woods is the product line director for Analog Devices’ line of industrial Ethernet products. Woods has 35 years of experience in the semiconductor industry. He is familiar with a variety of Ethernet-based industrial protocols, including Profinet, Ethernet/IP, as well as IEEE 802.1AS and other emerging TSN standards. Woods is also a voting member of the IEEE 802 working group defining new Ethernet standards for time-sensitive networks and the editor of the IEC/IEEE 60802 Time-Sensitive Networking Profile for Industrial Automation.

Jessy Rouyer leads Ethernet transport networking standardization at Nokia. His 22 years of experience in research, software development, and consultancy started at Bell Labs at Alcatel USA, then called Alcatel-Lucent USA, and continued in the optical networks business within a product line management team focused on packet optical, synchronization, and services. For two decades, Rouyer has contributed to several industry organizations. He held technical editor positions as well as leadership positions in IEEE SA, ITU-T, and the MEF Forum, in addition to attaining a MEF CECP designation. Following his work on IEEE Std 802.1CMTM, Rouyer is currently YANG technical editor for IEEE P1914.3 revising Radio over Ethernet and editor of ITU-T Recommendations central to Ethernet transport networking. He also serves as IEEE 802.1 Working Group Vice Chair and Recording Secretary as well as ITU-T SG15 Question 10 Rapporteur. Based in Texas, Rouyer holds over 20 granted patents and received his MSCS specializing in computer networks and systems from Université Henri Poincaré, France.

Don Pannell has architected Ethernet switches and networking solutions for over 25 years, focusing on Automotive Ethernet solutions for the last 15 years. He has been an active participant and contributor in both IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.1 for almost 25 years. Don organized the 802.3 Call for Interest (CFI) for RTPGE resulting in the 1000BASE-T1 Automotive PHY that exists today, and he started the Time Aware Shaper project in 802.1, known as IEEE 802.1Qbv. More recently he helped start the new 802.1 TSN Automotive Profile project (P802.1DG) and the IEEE P802.1ASds amendment to add 10BASE-T1S support to gPTP. Don is currently Secretary of the IEEE 1722 working group and editor of the new IEEE 1722b standard (which standardizes end node protocols for AVB/TSN). He has been a lead architect for over 30 years at companies including Sierra Semiconductor, I‐Cube, Marvell and now NXP. Don currently has over 95 patents granted. He received the BSEE degree from Loyola University in California, USA.
