Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a system for communication in a data network (), in particular switched Ethernet, and a user () in such a data network (). To reduce the communication resources required for the transmission of telegrams (-) in the data network (), it is proposed that time segments are defined, which are repeated cyclically at a basic clock rate, that telegrams (-) are each assigned a first identifier U, which allocates to the respective telegram (-) a group of n successive time segments for transmission of the respective telegram (-), whereby the group is repeated cyclically, that the telegrams (-) are each assigned a second identifier Z, which allocates to the respective telegram (-) an mth time segment in the sequence of n time segments of a group for transmission of the respective telegram (-), whereby 1≦m≦n and that the telegrams (-) are transmitted in the respectively assigned time segment.
