What is ARINC 664?

ARINC 664, also known as Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX), is a data network standard used in modern aircraft. It provides deterministic and reliable data communication for critical avionics systems by using dedicated bandwidth and virtual links. It ensures predictable data delivery with guaranteed latency, making it suitable for real-time applications like flight control and engine management.
