Abstract
A communication network on board a vehicle is a deterministic switched Ethernet network using virtual links, which includes a set of links, a set of subscribers and at least one switch containing a static configuration table that can be configured according to virtual links passing through this switch. This switch is integrated in a subscriber from the set of subscribers and is connected to the subscriber so as to enable communications between the subscriber and at least one other subscriber of the communication network. The switch includes at least three external communication ports (PE1, PE2, PE3) and the communication network is configured according to a mesh topology such that this switch is connected to at least three other entities corresponding to subscribers and/or switches of the communication network.
