Abstract
The invention relates to a method of data-packet transmission from a first network to a second network, one of the networks being a communications bus transporting data packets of isochronous and asynchronous types, characterised in that, with the other network being a packet-switching network, the said method includes, performed within a communications device connected to the communications bus and forming part of the packet-switching network, a step of reserving resources adapted to the types of data packets intended for the second network.

Method of data-packet transmission from a first network to a second network, one of the networks being a communications bus transporting data packets of isochronous and asynchronous types, characterised in that, with the other network being a packet-switching network, the said method includes, performed within a communications device connected to the communications bus and forming part of the packet-switching network, a step of reserving resources adapted to the types of data packets intended for the second network.
Method of transmitting data packets of isochronous and asynchronous types between two interconnected communications buses, characterised in that the said buses are interconnected by a packet-switching network, the said method including a step of reserving resources on the packet-switching network adapted to the types of packets originating from a first bus and intended for the second bus.
Communications device providing for data packets to be transmitted from a first network to a second network, one of the networks being a communications bus transporting data packets of isochronous and asynchronous types, characterised in that the device, being connected to the said bus and forming part of a packet-switching network constituting the other network, includes means for reserving resources adapted to the types of data packets intended for the second network.
Communications network including at least two interconnected communications buses each transporting data of isochronous and asynchronous types, characterised in that the said network includes a packet-switching network which interconnects the said buses and which is able to transmit, from the first bus to the second bus, data packets of isochronous and asynchronous types conveyed by the said first bus.
