Claim Text:
1. A method for allocation of network resources in a deterministic operations network comprising data transmitting and receiving devices, at least one computer processor, and a plurality of applications communicating data over the deterministic operations network in an aircraft, the deterministic operations network having a bandwidth capacity in at least a first mode or a second mode, the method comprising the steps of: determining in the at least one computer processor a set of first preferred applications of the plurality of applications for communicating over the deterministic operations network in the first mode and a set of second preferred applications of the plurality of applications for communicating over the deterministic operations network in the second mode; allocating in the at least one computer processor a first portion of the bandwidth capacity to the set of first preferred applications in the first mode and a second portion of the bandwidth capacity to the set of second preferred applications in the second mode; selecting the first mode or the second mode for operation of the deterministic operations network; and operating the deterministic operations network via the at least one computer processor according to the allocation wherein the first set of preferred applications uses the first portion of the bandwidth capacity when the deterministic operations network is operating in the first mode and the second set of preferred applications uses the second portion of the bandwidth capacity when deterministic operations network is operating in the second mode of operation.
