How is speed affected when all instruments in a segment start talking to each other?
For scheduled traffic, including any used for control purposes, the timing is pre-configured and always occurs as expected, under the control of the LAS. This is completely unaffected by any unscheduled traffic. In fact, instruments don’t just “start talking”! What happens is that the LAS gives each device a chance to talk, in turn, during the time, in each cycle, allocated for unscheduled messages. (If there isn’t enough time before the next scheduled message, they have to wait until later.
