Managed industrial Ethernet switches are increasing their presence in the industrial communication market due to their network prioritization capabilities and due to the increase in the highly critical process applications. The functionality of an Ethernet switch is defined by IEEE 802.1D, which describes the architecture and the set of functions distributed throughout this architecture. In addition to the handling of user data communication, these switches also provide a set of network managementrelated functionality.
