Context: In a standard production cell within an Industrial Control System (ICS), a Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC) is typically linked directly to one or more Input/Output (IO) devices. These
IO devices are then connected to the production machines within a cell. To enhance the flexibility
and scalability of these systems, PLCs are being softwarized. Such PLCs are called virtual
Programmable Logic Controllers (vPLCs). It is envisioned that vPLCs will run on Common of the
Shelf Equipment (COTS) servers, using computing platforms such as Siemens’ Industrial Edge
(IE). Despite this shift to virtualization, vPLCs must still adhere to strict requirements regarding
delay and jitter in their communications with IO devices.First, use our existing eBPF tool to trace the entire packet journey within Siemens’ Industrial Edge computing platform. These platforms often appear as black boxes to an application developers, so our goal is to illuminate their inner workings. The current eBPF tool may require modifications to adapt to this new environment and taskSecondly, identify potential bottlenecks and areas for optimization. Implement an enhancement in a Proof of Concept (PoC) setup using a virtual Programmable Logic Controller (vPLC) and its traffic. The objective of this enhancement is to reduce the delay and jitter of vPLC traffic
