Abstract

WOPANets (WOrst case Performance Analysis of embedded Networks) is a design aided-decision tool for embedded networks. This tool offers an ergonomic interface to the designer to describe the network and the circulating traffic and embodies a static performance evaluation technique based on the Network Calculus theory combined to optimization analysis to support early system level design exploration for embedded networks. In this paper, we describe the features set of WOPANets tool and we provide analysis in the case of a realistic embedded avionic network to show how the variation of some system´s parameters can improve the system performances to support the required constraints.
