Deterministische Übertragung (EN)

Definition

Deterministic transmission is a transmission method where the delay and sequence of packets are predictable. Deterministic networks like TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) are essential for high-precision time synchronization as they minimize jitter and offer guaranteed transmission times. This technology is particularly important in industrial environments where time-critical processes require precise coordination. Implementation is achieved through special network components and configurations.
