ARINC 664 part 7 (AFDX®) defines a standard for deterministic data transfers in a network for safety-critical applications. It utilizes dedicated bandwidth-regulated traffic control while providing deterministic Quality of Service (QoS). The service is based on standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet technology, and its main aspects include full-duplex switched and profiled Ethernet, redundancy management, and high-speed performance - all incorporated into our commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) AFDX® products.
Guaranteed bandwidth and elimination of transmission collisions provide high data integrity and deterministic timing.
