Abstract
In a method for data transmission in a communications network, data frames containing metadata and payloads are transmitted via point-to-point connections between a respective transmitter and a receiver according to a communications protocol. For each point-to-point connection, a transmission list of the data frames to be transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver is kept. In addition, a priority set of at least three interrupt priorities of pairs with differing significance is provided, and the communications protocol permits each data frame of a transmission list to be assigned an interrupt priority and to interrupt a current transmission of a data frame of the transmission list in order to transfer a data frame that is contained in the transmission list and that has been assigned a higher interrupt priority than the currently transferred data frame.
