Abstract
A control system (e.g., that controls operations of a powered system) includes one or more processors configured to determine quality of service (QoS) parameters of devices communicating data with each other in an Ethernet network configured as a time sensitive network (TSN). The one or more processors also are configured to determine available communication pathways in the TSN through which the devices are able to communicate the data, and to select one or more of the available communication pathways and to designate communication times at which the data is communicated between the devices in order to satisfy the QoS parameters of the devices.
