Abstract

A method for operating a time-sensitive network (TSN) includes splitting data stream on network elements into a “preempting” class and a “preemptable” class based on a mapping from priority labels; forwarding the data streams to respective next-hop network elements, wherein the forwarding of “preempting” data streams takes precedence over the forwarding of “preemptable” data streams; and forwarding the data streams received from both segments based on the priority labels and the classes of the data streams to at least one next-hop network element; wherein forwarding of “preempting” data streams takes precedence over forwarding of “preemptable” data streams; wherein the priority label attached to the data stream that has the highest priority is different from the priority label attached to the data stream that has the highest priority within the second segment.
