Abstract
The invention relates to a method for periodic transmission of real time data in a computer system, particularly a distributed computer system, which computer system is comprised of node computers (-), particularly an appreciable number of node computers (-), and distributor units (-), particularly an appreciable number of distributor units (-), wherein the node computers (-) and the distributor units (-) have access to a global time, and wherein real time data are transmitted by means of time-triggered real time messages, wherein selected distributor units () form a central structure of distributor units; and wherein during a periodic communication round (PCR), in the error-free case, at least two copies of each real time message to be sent are transmitted via at least two independent routes through the central structure, by executing a satisfying or an optimal time plan, from a start distributor unit in the central structure to a target distributor unit in the central structure; such that in the error case, error handling can begin immediately after an error detection time point contained in the time plan, preferably in the optimal time plan.
