Abstract
This invention relates to a simulation or test system (1′) for a network architecture of computers (10-15) and active equipment items (20-25), in particular on board an aircraft, and a corresponding method.
The system comprises a simulation unit (100) comprising models (Mi) simulating at least one part of the said computers (10-15).
Moreover, each computer or simulation model is able to communicate on a real network (2) through a corresponding active equipment item (20-25) to which the said computer, simulated if need be, is directly connected in the network, and the simulation unit (100) may acquire a message (MESS) sent out by a computer or a simulation model on the network, and transmit the acquired message to simulation models (Mi) that are recipients thereof.
According to the invention, the simulation unit (100) acquires the said message at the corresponding active equipment item (20-25) to which the sending computer or simulation model is directly connected.
