  When the Network-On-Chip (NoC) paradigm was introduced, many researchers have
proposed many novelistic NoC architectures, tools and design strategies. In
this paper we introduce a new approach in the field of designing
Network-On-Chip (NoC). Our inspiration came from an avionic protocol which is
the AFDX protocol. The proposed NoC architecture is a switch centric
architecture, with exclusive shortcuts between hosts and utilizes the
flexibility, the reliability and the performances offered by AFDX.
