本技术报告确定了支持时间关键型通信系统的系统的用户需求，以及特定于应用程序进程内或之间的对等和多对等通信中的时间关键型通信体系结构的网络管理方面。本技术报告使用ISO/IEC JTC1/SC21/WG7开发的QoS基本框架的概念和术语，将支持时间关键型通信系统的用户需求转化为管理和支持时间关键型通信网络的QoS需求。 本技术报告还描述了时间关键型通信系统中网络管理的模型、特点和功能。本技术报告侧重于离散零件制造应用中使用的时间关键型通信系统；然而，这些时间关键型通信系统也可用于其他应用，包括过程控制。本技术报告主要集中于事件驱动应用的时间关键型通信系统，其中流量和网络配置会动态变化； 然而，本技术报告也可能适用于流量模式和配置为静态的状态驱动应用。

This Technical Report identifies user requirements for systems supporting time-critical communications systems and the network management aspect which are specific to time-critical communications architecture in peer-to-peer and multipeer communications in or between application processes. This Technical Report translates user requirements for systems supporting time-critical communications into QoS requirements for the management and support of a time-critical communications network, using the concepts and terminology of the QoS Basic Framework developed by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC21/WG7. This Technical Report also describes a model, characteristics and functions for network management in time-critical communications systems. This Technical Report focuses on time-critical communications systems used in discrete parts manufacturing applications; however, these time-critical communications systems may also be used in other applications, including process control. This Technical Report concentrates primarily on time-critical communications systems for event-driven applications in which traffic flow and network configuration change dynamically; however, this Technical Report may also be applicable to state-driven applications in which traffic patterns and configuration are static.
