Development and Testing of Automotive Ethernet-Networks together in one   Tool - OMNeT++
  In this paper, the network simulation framework OMNeT++ is used for development and testing of automotive Ethernet-Networks. Therefore OMNeT++ is extended by the INET framework. It is augmented by an implementation of the protocol SOME/IP (-SD) and an connector to the middleware Gamma V. The middleware is used to configure the network by initialization. Additionally data, which is sent over the network, can be changed on the fly.   The contribution of this work regards three main aspects: First, the use of OMNeT++ for network development in automotive industry. Second, the employment of an existing simulation model and using it as restbus simulation for Hardware in the Loop (HiL) testing or rapid prototyping. Finally, the implementation of SOME/IP(-SD) into OMNeT++.
