Abstract: A process and system for evaluating the deterministic behavior of a packet switching network including subscriber stations connected to each other through at least one switch, the behavior defined as deterministic if any packet sent on the network from a source subscriber station joins the destination subscriber station(s) within a limited time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for checking the deterministic behavior of a packet switching network comprising subscriber stations connected to each other through at least one switch, this behavior being said to be deterministic in the sense that every packet sent on the network from a source subscriber station joins the destination subscriber station(s) within a limited time, characterized in that the following relation is satisfied for each output port on each switch on the network: ? ? [ 1 + int ? ( ( Jitter ? ? In ) i ? i + max ? ? Latency BAGi ) ] * ( max ? ? ? frame ? ? duration ) ? max ? ? latency i = number ? ? of ? ? virtual ? ? links ? ? passing ? ? through ? ? the ? ? buffer in which: the max latency value is the maximum residence time in the output buffer of a switch, this value may be different for each switch in the network.

Abstract: A process for implementing a redundant switched full-duplex Ethernet type communication network including at least two independent elementary networks, each elementary network including at least one source subscriber equipment and at least one destination subscriber equipment, connected to each other through at least one physical link through at least one switch, each equipment being connected to each of these elementary networks. The process performs a frame by frame redundancy on each elementary network.

Abstract: A switched full-duplex Ethernet type communication network including at least one source subscriber equipment and at least one destination subscriber equipment connected to each other through at least one physical link through at least one switch and at least one virtual link, which is the conceptual representation of a link from a source equipment to at least one destination equipment. Each equipment transmitting Ethernet frames segregates between virtual links and allocation of a passband for each virtual link and multiplexes virtual links on the physical link output from this equipment. Each transmitted frame has a field that identifies the virtual link to which it belongs.
