The invention relates to a method for transmitting messages in a computer network and to a computer network, wherein the computer network comprises a first set of computing nodes (101 - 105), which computing nodes (101 - 105) are connected to each other by means of at least one star coupler (201, 202) and/or at least one multi-hop network (1000), wherein each computing node of the first set of computing nodes (101 - 105) is connected to the at least one star coupler (201, 201) or the at least one multi-hop network (1000) by means of at least one communication line (110), and wherein the computing nodes (101 - 105) exchange Ethernet messages among each other and the exchange of at least some of the Ethernet messages of the computing nodes (101 - 105) occurs in a time-controlled manner. According to the invention, a) the computer network comprises a second set of computing nodes (106 - 108), which are connected to each other by means of a bus (210), wherein the bus (210) is connected to the at least one star coupler (201) and/or the at least one multi-hop network (1000), and wherein b) the computing nodes of the second set of computing nodes (106 - 108) exchange Ethernet messages among each other and the exchange of at least some of the Ethernet messages of the computing nodes (106 - 108) occurs in a time-controlled manner, and wherein preferably c) the computing nodes of the second set of computing nodes (106 - 108) exchange Ethernet messages with the computing nodes of the first set of computing nodes (101 - 105) and the exchange of at least some of the Ethernet messages of the computing nodes (101 - 108) occurs in a time-controlled manner. |
