THE GUARDKNOX GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING
AUTOMOTIVE ETHERNET
The communication requirements inside vehicles and between vehicles and the external world have changed dramatically.
Since legacy automotive technologies no longer meet today’s performance and security requirements the automotive industry is migrating to Ethernet as a family of technologies to facilitate internal and external communication. A range of new Ethernet versions has been standardized meeting the specific requirements of automotive communication. These new Ethernet versions feature technologies for higher robustness in the automotive environment while allowing significant cost reductions.
In this paper we discuss:
- The Requirements for Communication in Automotive Environments
- Legacy Automotive Communication Mechanisms
- Automotive Ethernet Technologies
