1. A method of increasing resiliency of functionalities operating on an aircraft network system of an aircraft, the method comprising:
during inoperation of one node of a set of nodes, determining a flight condition of the aircraft;
determining a criticality of the functionalities of the aircraft that are managed by the set of nodes; and
dynamically reassigning the functionalities of the aircraft that are managed by the set of nodes;
wherein the dynamically reassigning the functionalities is based upon the criticality of the functionalities, and wherein the dynamically reassigning prioritizes higher-criticality functionalities based upon an algorithm, wherein the algorithm defines a hierarchy of criticality for the functionalities, and further dynamically changes the hierarchy of criticality for the functionalities based upon the flight condition of the aircraft.
