Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a network, wherein multiple network devices, each having their own configuration, are connected to one another for data exchange and exchange data via these connections, wherein dynamic delays (jitters) are taken into account in the determining of the time for the transmission of the data, wherein the network is a time-sensitive network and an actual time for the transmission of the data over network devices from a starting network device to a target network device is determined while taking the dynamic delays into account, wherein time synchronisation jitters and forwarding jitters are taken into account in the dynamic delays.
