Abstract

The Asynchronous Traffic Shaping (ATS) has been designed by the Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) group as a reshaping mechanism for real-time data flows, based on the initial proposition of the Urgency Based Shaper (UBS). Several studies have exhibited properties and limitations of this solution, but most of them are based on the model presented in the UBS definition [Specht and Samii, 2016], whereas the implementation described in the standard uses a different architecture and algorithm. This paper presents an equivalence proof between the model and the standard specification.
