Process for transmitting data packets of predefinable priority classes using ethernet from a first device to at least one other device
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data packets with predefinable priority classes in a network from a first arrangement to at least one second arrangement, comprising:
- generating at least one timing message by the first arrangement at predefinable time intervals and transmitting the at least one timing message to at least the second arrangement which is coupled to the first arrangement;
determining timing intervals as a function of a synchronization message in the at least one timing message, the timing intervals being provided for transmitting data packets each with a predefinable priority class;
receiving the timing message by the at least one second arrangement;
evaluating the received timing message, a synchronization time being determined as a function of which the timing intervals, which are provided for the transmission of data packets each having a predefinable priority class, are determined; and
reserving, for a communications connection which has any desired number of data packets to be transmitted, predefinable resources for the communications connection at a beginning of the communications connection as a function of the time intervals.

Abstract
In the method, at least one timing message is generated by a first arrangement at predefinable time intervals and is transmitted to at least a second arrangement. The timing message contains a synchronization method, as a function of which time intervals which are provided for the transmission of data packets (DP) each having a predefinable priority class are determined. After reception of the timing message, the received timing message is evaluated, a synchronization time being determined, as a function of which the time intervals which are provided for the transmission of data packets each having a predefinable priority class are determined.
