Ethernet consist network explained

Ethernet Consist Network (ECN) is a train communication network based on Ethernet technology standardised with IEC-61375-3-. This is a vehicle (consist) communication like Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB) in train communication network (TCN).^[1]

ECN provides an Internet Protocol (IP) interface to TCMS (train control and management system) and other systems within a vehicle (consist).^[2] The Ethernet technology's large bandwidth (typically 100 Mbit/s) is particularly suitable for data-intensive systems like video surveillance or passenger information systems.^[3]
