Abstract
The invention concerns a method for transmitting messages in a computer network, wherein the computer network comprises a first set of computing nodes (-), which computing nodes (-) are connected to each other by means of at least one star coupler () and/or at least one multi-hop network (), wherein each of the computing nodes of the first set of computing nodes (-) is connected by means of at least one communication line () to the at least one star coupler () or the at least one multi-hop network (), and wherein the computing nodes (-) exchange Ethernet messages with each other and the exchange of at least some of the Ethernet messages of the computing nodes (-) occurs in time controlled manner. It is provided that a) the computer network comprises a second set of computing nodes (-), which are connected to each other by a bus (), and wherein the bus () is connected to the at least one star coupler () and/or the at least one multi-hop network (), and wherein b) the second set of computing nodes (-) exchange Ethernet messages with each other and the exchange of at least some of the Ethernet messages of the computing nodes (-) occurs in time controlled manner, and wherein preferably c) the second set of computing nodes (-) exchange Ethernet messages with the first set of computing nodes (-) and the exchange of at least some of the Ethernet messages of the computing nodes (-) occurs in time controlled manner.
