Abstract
In a system that uses a switched network and virtual links (for example, an AFDX, TT-ETHERNET, or TT-Gigabit ETHERNET switched ETHERNET network), the system is configured so that, for at least one virtual link, the end system that sources frames for that virtual link can change (for example, when an end system that was previously sourcing frames for that virtual link fails). The switches used in such a system are configured to be able to accept frames if there is such a change.
