Packet switched networks such as AFDX (Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet) are a major upgrade for avionics systems communication. The computation of a guaranteed upper bound on End-to-end delay of all flows transmitted in the network is mandatory for certification reasons. Considering existing methods, we define a forward End-to-End delay analysis that can scale to large configurations and high loads. The proposed approach is compared with Network Calculus and Trajectory approach on an AFDX configuration.
