Abstract
Application developers want to incorporate and maintain only the absolutely essential TSN software in their container applications, but not complete TSN device stacks. At the same time, their TSN application containers are able to request TSN streams from the network dynamically at any time (ad hoc). For this, the TSN application containers require topology information from an Edge device (e.g., like the device access point(s) for TSN network(s)) in the simplest manner possible. A method and an apparatus are disclosed herein to solve the problem described above as a result of the required information and address tuples being provided to the container following installation and not needing to be already known during development.
