Handling transmission of packets from virtualized environment hosted by tsn entity

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method (400) for enabling transmission of packets from at least one virtualized computing instance (12) within a virtualized environment (50) to a physical interface (55) on a computing device (60). The virtualized environment (50) is resident on the computing device (60) being operated as a Time-Sensitive Networking, TSN, entity for a TSN system (100). The TSN system (100) is integrated to a wireless communication network (80). The method (400) is performed within the virtualized environment (50) by the computing device (60). The method (400) comprises identifying (402) at least one network entity (10a) connected to the at least one virtualized computing instance (12) within the virtualized environment (50), to be used for routing of the packets from the at least one virtualized computing instance (12) to the physical interface (55). The method (400) comprises determining (404) a scheduling configuration indicating timing information and packet traffic controlling information for the at least one virtualized computing instance (12) for transmission of the packets and for the identified at least one network entity (10a) for routing of the packets. The method (400) comprises causing (406) transmission of the packets from the at least one virtualized computing instance (12) to the physical interface (55) through the at least one network entity (10a) in accordance with the determination. Corresponding computing device, and computer program products are also disclosed.
