Abstract
The invention relates to a system for simulating at least one item of equipment missing on an AFDX network and for testing such a network comprising at least one real item of equipment, which uses non-specific computer means including:
- a simulation layer (21) controlling at least one Ethernet controller (22),
- at least one commercially available Ethernet switch (42) to switch data.
