1. A control system comprising:

  • one or more processors configured to determine quality of service (QoS) parameters of devices communicating data with each other via nodes in an Ethernet network that is configured as a time sensitive network (TSN), the one or more processors also configured to determine a corpus of available communication pathways among the nodes in the TSN through which the devices are able to communicate the data, the one or more processors configured to determine that communication of the data through at least one of the nodes would violate one or more of the QoS parameters of the devices, the one or more processors also configured to eliminate one or more infeasible pathways of the available communication pathways from the corpus of the available communication pathways, the one or more infeasible pathways including the at least one node through which communication of the data would violate one or more of the QoS parameters, the one or more processors also configured to select one or more of the available communication pathways remaining in the corpus and to designate communication times at which the data is communicated between the devices through the one or more of the available communication pathways that are selected to satisfy the QoS parameters of the devices.
