What trend does the table show across the four?

  • A.Progressive relaxation of who may transmit and when
  • B.Progressive reduction in data rate
  • C.Progressive move away from error detection
  • D.Progressive increase in wiring weight

Answer: A

Correct answer: Progressive relaxation of who may transmit and when

Read the access column across the four. ARINC 429 permits one transmitter, broadcasting continuously. MIL-STD-1553 permits many, but only when the controller commands. ARINC 629 removes the controller, terminals taking turns by distributed timing rules. ARINC 664 lets every end system transmit at will, subject to policing at the switches.

Each step gives sources more freedom and moves the guarantee of determinism elsewhere - from the topology, to a schedule, to a protocol, to enforcement in the network.
