This document discusses the limitations of using only simulation and analysis for evaluating worst-case frame latencies on networks like Controller Area Network (CAN) buses. It presents experimental results showing that simulation may not reveal the actual worst-case latency and that analytical models require fine-grained modeling to be accurate. The document concludes that both simulation and analysis are insufficient alone and that validating analytical models with targeted simulation of worst-case trajectories is needed.
