AdminStatus of DataType InterfaceAdminStatus specifies the desired state of the network interface. This Variable has the same read semantics as ifAdminStatus (see IETF RFC 2863: The Interfaces Group MIB - ifAdminStatus). The InterfaceAdminStatus Enumeration is defined in 5.3.1.2.

OperStatus of DataType InterfaceOperStatus specifies the current operational state of the network interface. This Variable has the same semantics as ifOperStatus (see IETF RFC 2863: The Interfaces Group MIB - ifOperStatus). The InterfaceOperStatus Enumeration is defined in 5.3.1.3.

PhysAddress of DataType String specifies the network interface's address at its protocol sub-layer. For example, for an 802.x network interface, this parameter normally contains a Media Access Control (MAC) address. The network interface's media-specific modules must define the bit and byte ordering and the format of the value of this object. For network interfaces that do not have such an address (e.g., a serial line), this node is not present (see IETF RFC 2863: The Interfaces Group MIB - ifPhysAddress).

Speed of DataType UInt64 specifies an estimate of the network interface's current bandwidth in bits per second. For network interfaces that do not vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this value should contain the nominal bandwidth (see IETF RFC 2863: ifSpeed, ifHighSpeed).

The component Variables of the IIetfBaseNetworkInterfaceType have the Attribute values defined in Table 2.

StreamId is an array of 8 Bytes defined according to the StreamID in IEEE 802.1Qcc-2018 clause 35.2.2.8.2. The StreamId shall be unique in the scope of the related TSN Network. The mapping between the StreamId Byte array and the IEEE octet string StreamID is as follows: Entry[n] of StreamId is mapped to octet[n] of StreamID. The StreamId shall be provided in the TSN stream Objects for diagnostic reasons.

Note: In the distributed configuration model the StreamId is typically generated by the TSN control stack of the endstation. In the fully centralized configuration model the StreamId is typically generated by the CUC.

StreamName is a String identifying the related stream in the network. The format of the String is application specific. The uniqueness of the StreamName inside the network segment shall be guaranteed by the application. If multiple applications use the network segment, they need to agree on a naming scheme.

State represents the current state of the TSN configuration process of a TSN stream. The TsnStreamState Enumeration is defined in 5.3.1.6.

AccumulatedLatency of DataType UInt32 is the maximum worst case propagation delay in nanoseconds calculated and guaranteed by the TSN Control Layer for this Listener. Once the stream reservation has succeeded the AccumulatedLatency is not expected to increase during the lifecycle of the TSN Stream (see IEEE 802.1Q-2018 clause 35.2.2.8.6).

SrClassId of DataType Byte contains the Stream Reservation Class that is used for this stream (see IEEE 802.1Qcc-2018 clause 35.2.2.9.2).

The MaxFrameSize of DataType UInt16 specifies the maximum size frame that will be sent by a Talker for this Stream (see IEEE 802.1Q-2018 clause 35.2.2.8.4a).

Note: According to 802.1Q MaxFrameSize only counts the number of bytes of the Ethernet payload without the media specific framing bytes. (i.e. without 8-byte preamble, 14-byte IEEE 802.3 header, 4-byte IEEE 802.1Q priority/VID Tag, 4-byte CRC, 12-byte inter frame gap). Same rules apply for counting MaxBytesPerInterval.

The MaxIntervalFrames of DataType UInt16 Variable specifies the maximum number of frames that will be sent during an Interval. (see IEEE 802.1Q-2018, clause 35.2.2.8.4b, “MaxIntervalFrames” or IEEE 802.1Qcc-2018, clause 35.2.2.10.6, “MaxFramesPerInterval”)

Interval of DataType UnsignedRationalNumber defines the time period of the TSN Stream in nanoseconds. In that interval a specified number of frames (MaxIntervalFrames) with a maximum payload size per frame (MaxFrameSize) and a maximum total number of bytes (MaxBytesPerInterval) will be transmitted. The Interval therefore shall either represent the “class measurement interval” as used for AVB based Streams (see IEEE 802.1Q-2018 clause 35 or the “Interval” parameter used in the TrafficSpecification group in IEEE 802.1Qcc-2018 clause 46.2.3.5.1).
