A High-reliability Network Architecture Based on Parallel Redundancy Protocol

With the development of aerospace technology, the data requirement has been increased, a high-reliability network is needed. To improve the network reliability, a double-ring structure is proposed and the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) is adopted. The high-reliability network model is established using OPNET Modeler, and the network performances in system-level and link-level failure mode are simulated. Simulation results demonstrated the designed network architecture provided rapid even seamless recovery in case of link failure or single network breakdown.
