Abstract
The invention pertains to a method for the transmission of messages in a computer network, wherein the computer network comprises computing nodes with said computing nodes being interconnected by means of at least one star coupler and/or at least one multi-hop network, wherein each computing node is connected to the at least one star coupler via at least one communication line, and wherein the computing nodes exchange Ethernet messages among each other and with the at least one star coupler and/or the at least one multi-hop network, and wherein at least a portion, e.g. one, two, multiple or all Ethernet messages are communicated in a time-controlled manner, and wherein at least one star coupler implements at least one function (COF); the at least one function (COF) is characterized by using one, two or multiple time-controlled Ethernet messages and/or parts of one, two or multiple Ethernet messages as input parameter(s), and generating one, two or multiple Ethernet messages or parts of one, two or multiple Ethernet messages as output; and the time use of the function (COF) is for at least a portion, for example for one, two, multiple or all time-controlled communicated Ethernet messages and/or its multiple implementation in the star coupler linked to the communication schedule of the time-controlled Ethernet messages, so that the time use of the function (COF) and/or its multiple implementation is at least partially predefined by the communication schedule of the time-controlled messages.
