AFDX (Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet) is an avionics data network based on commercial 10/100Mbit switched Ethernet. AFDX uses a special protocol to provide deterministic timing and redundancy management providing secure and reliable communications of critical and non-critical data. AFDX communication protocols have been derived from commercial standards (IEEE802.3 Ethernet MAC addressin...

The Avionic Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) is a data network certified for avionic operations. AFDX closely follows the IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) standard for packet forwarding. On top of that, bandwidth enforcement using traffic shaping is performed to provide deterministic delivery guarantees. The design of an AFDX network, however, imposes that bandwidth enforcement is performed at a coars...

In this paper, we propose an extension of the AFDX standard, incorporating a TSN/BLS shaper, to homogenize the avionics communication architecture, and enable the interconnection of different avionics domains with mixed-criticality levels, e.g., legacy AFDX traffic, Flight Control and In-Flight Entertainment. First, we present the main specifications of such a proposed solution. Then, we detail...

AFDX (Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet) standardised as ARINC 664 is a major upgrade for avionics systems. The certification imposes to guarantee that the end-toend delay of any frame transmitted on the network is upperbounded and that no frame is lost due to buffer overflow. This guarantee is obtained thanks to a worst-case analysis assuming a FIFO scheduling policy of flows on each outp...

Autoradiography helps to determine the distribution and density of muscarinic receptor (MR) binding sites in the brain. However, it relies on the selectivity of radioligands toward their target. 3H-Pirenzepine is commonly believed to label predominantly M1MR, 3H-AFDX-384 is considered as M2MR selective ligand. Here we performed series of autoradiographies with 3H-AFDX-384 (2 nM), and 3H-pirenze...

Packet switched networks and message multiplexing have been a major upgrade for industrial systems communications. In the avionics domain, this evolution was brought by the introduction of Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX). Guaranteed upper bounds of end-to-end delays for messages transmitted over an AFDX network are mandatory for certification reasons. In this article, we present t...

Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) has been designed to carry exclusively time-critical flows dictated by the severe real-time constraints of avionics. Certification methods ensure end-to-end communication delays are upper bounded at the cost of an over-provision of network bandwidth. This paper investigates the issues related to the efficient use of such wasted communication capacit...

In most recent avionics systems, AFDX (Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet) is the network used to replace the previously employed point-to-point networks. AFDX guarantees bandwidth reservations by means of virtual links which can be classified with two priority levels. AFDX compliant switches implement output buffers at each switch output port. The stored frames leave each output port accor...

Ethernet-AVB/TSN (Audio Video Bridging/Time-Sensitive Networking) and AFDX (Avionics Full DupleX switched Ethernet) are switched Ethernet technologies, which are both candidates for real-time communication in the context of transportation systems. AFDX implements a fixed priority scheduling strategy with two priority levels. Ethernet-AVB/TSN supports a similar fixed priority scheduling with an ...
