Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
This transmission network for transmitting information, of the type comprising at least two associated loops ( 2, 3 ) for transmitting information, in each of which functional nodes ( 4, 5 ) are integrated, each comprising at least one distribution module for distributing messages ( 6, 7 ) between the input and output ports of the node and at least one network interface module ( 8, 9 ) associated with this distribution module, is characterized in that the network interface modules ( 8, 9 ) of at least certain of the nodes of at least one of the loops ( 2, 3 ) are connected to the distribution modules ( 6, 7 ) for distributing the nodes of at least one other loop.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A transmission network for transmitting information comprising at least two associated loops for transmitting information, in each of which functional nodes, are integrated, each comprising at least one distribution module for distributing messages between the input and output ports of the node and at least one network interface module associated with the message distribution module, each message distribution module is distinct from each network interface module associated with the message distribution module, wherein the network interface modules of at least certain of the nodes of at least one of the loops are connected directly to the distribution modules of nodes of at least one other loop, without passing by the network interface modules of these nodes of the other loop. 2. The transmission network for transmitting information according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one network interface module is associated with at least one application module. 3. The transmission network for transmitting information according to claim 1 , wherein the loops are loops for conditional or unconditional propagation of messages, independent thereof. 4. The transmission network for transmitting information according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the loops is a loop for unidirectional propagation of messages. 5. The transmission network for transmitting information according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the loops is a loop for bidirectional propagation of messages. 6. The transmission network for transmitting information according to claim 1 , wherein the loops are loops for propagation in the opposite direction or in the same direction of the messages. 7. The transmission network for transmitting information according to claim 1 , wherein at least certain of the distribution modules of at least certain nodes are associated with multiple network interface modules of nodes integrated in at least one other loop. 8. The transmission network for transmitting information according to claim 1 , wherein at least certain of the network interface modules of at least certain nodes are associated with multiple distribution modules for distributing nodes integrated in at least one other loop.
