AIRCRAFT DATA NETWORK PART 1 SYSTEMS CONCEPTS AND OVERVIEW ARINC664P1-1

This specification provides the overview of aircraft data networks installed in air-transport aircraft, tutorial information for adaptation of commercial network standards to air-transport aircraft, and terminology used to describe aircraft data networks. This specification explains the dependency of Aircraft Data Network (ADN) standards on network standards developed by the Internet community, IEEE, and ISO. The classes, Compliant Networks and Profiled Networks, used to characterize aircraft networks are introduced.
