Abstract:
A functional node for an information transmission network and corresponding network are disclosed. In one aspect, the functional node includes at least one module for distributing messages between input and output ports. The distribution module includes at least one combination of at least three ports, including a first input port connected to a second output port by a first capability for unconditionally propagating messages, not depending on the messages. The first and/or second ports are connected to a third port by a second capability for conditionally propagating messages, depending on the messages.

Abstract:
A data transmission architecture, in particular for use in on-board avionics is disclosed. The data transmission architecture includes at least one main data transmission network with integrated functional nodes for connecting a plurality of peripheral data transmission networks to the main network, in order to provide data transmission between the networks. The data transmission architecture also includes a direct connection of peripheral networks to one another so as to allow the transmission of data directly between the peripheral networks without passing through the main network. The main network includes a plurality of associated sub-networks.
