Method for managing traffic in a network based upon ethernet switches, vehicle, communication interface, and corresponding computer program product

A method for managing traffic in a network based upon Ethernet switches, which are compliant with the IEEE 802.1Q and TSN communication standards, including the steps of dividing frames received into queues; scheduling transmission of the frames contained in the queues on the basis of the respective priorities of the traffic classes; and, if frames are present belonging to a traffic class in the plurality of traffic classes that has a higher priority than frames belonging to the event-triggered traffic class and when at least one protected time window occurs, transmitting the frames that belong to the traffic class with higher priority and blocking transmission of the frames that belong to the remaining traffic classes; and if the queue dedicated to the event-triggered traffic class is empty, transmitting a frame belonging to one of the remaining traffic classes that have frames with a priority lower than the frames belonging to the event-triggered traffic class.
