Network management
Network management in AUTOSAR includes functions aimed at controlling and coordinating communication between ECUs across different network protocols. It handles tasks such as network configuration, fault detection and handling, and ensuring the overall integrity and reliability of data exchange. By overseeing these aspects, Nm helps maintain optimal network performance and reduces power consumption by managing the active and sleep states of ECUs. This enhances overall system performance and responsiveness.
In the next section, we shall explore the key modules to handle network management.
Key modules in network management
ComM acts as a higher-level manager that coordinates with other Nm modules, such as the Network Management (Nm) and various bus-specific network management modules (e.g., CanNm for CAN, LinNm for LIN), to ensure efficient and reliable communication system operations.
ComM manages various states of the communication channels:
