An avionics switched Ethernet network. A plurality of synchronized interconnected system nodes each includes an avionics module arranged to periodically provide a set of data messages. Each message includes a set of data variables. A network module couples the avionics module to the network. The network module includes a network interface unit arranged to provide for transmission of data packets including a number of the data messages from the avionics module. The network module of each system node includes a transmission control unit arranged to control the network interface unit to perform scheduled transmissions of the data packets. The transmission control unit is provided with access to a memory module. Each of the plurality of time-slots is statically allocated a predetermined number of data packets, each including a predetermined subset of data messages from the set of data messages.
