Abstract
For the transfer of digital data between plural terminals, the method according to the invention comprises the connection of each terminal to a switching device via a respective bus of the ARINC 629 type, the switching device selectively ensuring communication between said buses; the shaping of the digital data to be transmitted by a terminal into at least one message of predefined fixed length, in which the digital data are associated with a header comprising a code identifying the message; the transmission of said message by the terminal on the bus connecting it to the switching device; the reception of the message by the switching device; and the transmission of the message by the switching device onto each of the buses connected to the destination terminals determined by means of the message identification code.
