SERNA-GUARIN, Leonardo  e  DELGADO-TREJOS, Edilson. Characterization of communication channels in terms of traffic and network architecture: a review. Iteckne [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.1, pp.99-107. ISSN 1692-1798.

Software tools face accessibility and availability limitations in monitoring and industrial control processes when communications are affected by long distances. Likewise, real-time answers and stability are also limited by the traffic conditions in LAN network. Ethernet networks are widely-used in industrial communications due to high performance in multi-switch configuration. However, they are not the most appropriate solution for real-time applications, given the difficulty in measuring response times in data transmission, and even more so when the network topologies are different and traffic levels are permanently varying. This paper presents a review of the characterization of communication channels in terms of traffic and network architecture, identifying unexplored areas and promoting new alternatives that may be easily adopted by the industrial sector. In conclusion, a technique integrated by architecture and traffic characteristics in network analysis may performance in heterogeneous systems for industrial applications via web.
