Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program code for processing commands in a network. A process creates a set of commands for an aircraft. The commands are in queues in a library in the network. Responsive to an event, the stored set of commands is sent to a proxy server application executing on the network data processing system. A connection is established between the proxy server application and an onboard electronic distribution system on an aircraft data processing system on the aircraft. The commands are requested by the onboard electronic distribution system. The distributed commands are received from the proxy server application by the onboard electronic distribution system. The received commands are processed by the onboard electronic distribution system and a set of aircraft software parts is forwarded to a set of target data processing systems on the aircraft using the processed set of commands if the commands are uplink commands.
