  • Onboard network system architecture for improved communication and method of use
    Patent number: 8468263
    Abstract: A method is present for transferring information in an aircraft network data processing system. A message is received from a process executing on the aircraft network data processing system for a destination to form a pending message. The pending message is received using a common protocol for processes executing in the aircraft network data processing system. A communication service is identified from a number of communication services for use in sending the message to the destination remote to the aircraft network data processing system to form a selected communication service in response to receiving the pending message. A new message is formed from the pending message. The new message has a format usable by an associated protocol for the selected communication service. The new message is sent to the destination using the selected communication service.
