(54) | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SWITCHING GATE CONTROL LIST IN TIME-SENSITIVE NETWORKING |
(57) A method and an apparatus for switching a gate control list in time-sensitive networking
are provided, and relate to the field of communication technologies. The method is
applied to a time-sensitive networking TSN device. Gate control slot storage space
of the TSN device includes a first slot resource block and a second slot resource
block, a quantity of slots in the first slot resource block is m times a quantity
of slots in the second slot resource block, and m>1. The method includes: obtaining
a list switching command, where the list switching command indicates a target port
of the TSN device to switch a running-state gate control list; establishing a first
gate control list of the target port based on an idle slot in the first slot resource
block and/or an idle slot in the second slot resource block and the list switching
command; and when a list switching condition is met, executing the list switching
command to switch the running-state gate control list of the target port from a second
gate control list to the first gate control list. The method helps reduce resources
occupied by gate control lists.
