Time Deterministic Middleware Model for AFDX RealTime Flow
To ensure the time determinability of avionics applications based on Commercialofftheshelf (COTS) platform when accessing into AFDX (Avionics Full Duplex switched ethernet) networkan AFDX realtime flow middleware was designed.Using protocol conversion function based on filtering mechanism of intermediate driverthe middleware achieved communications between networks running with different protocol.Core code of frame sequence number (SN) insertion was described.A time scheduling algorithm which has the minimum jitter aimed at VLMultiplexing was proposedby distributing the sendingtime of visual links(VL)it is able to avoid contention on a rate limited physical link.Finallyexperiments were made to test the performance of AFDX realtime flow middleware and the results showed that:the middleware model achieved the format mutual conversion between TCP/ IP protocol and AFDX protocoland the time scheduling algorithm can decrease jitter caused by VL multiplex apparentlywhich ensured the time determinability of AFDX communication.
