Switched Ethernet is an Ethernet LAN that uses switches to connect individual nodes. This is popular because of its effective and convenient way of extending the bandwidth of existing Ethernets. Switched Ethernet is being considered by the industry community because of its open standardization, cost effectiveness, and the support for higher data rates up to 10Gbps. Even though many special-purposed solutions were proposed to support time constrained communication over Switched Ethernet, still there were some doubts about the real time handling capability of Switched Ethernet. To achieve reliable transmission guarantees for real time traffic over Switched Ethernet, it is important to measure the performance of Switched Ethernet networks for real time communication. In this thesis work we have observed the average end-to-end packet delay for real time traffic over a Switched Ethernet by simulation, which is very much essential for real time communication in industrial applications, where the communication is time-deterministic. In our thesis we used FCFS priority queuing in both the source nodes and switch. In this thesis we also discussed about the feasibility analysis for fixed sized frames and some traffic handling methods. We used 100mbp/s single full duplex Ethernet switch for our simulation. Finally simulation analysis and simulation results are discussed. Our purpose of simulation of Switched Ethernet networks is of good importance for the real time industrial applications.
