In this paper, we present an approach to assess the schedulability and scalability of CPS Networks through an algorithm that is capable of estimating the load of the network as its utility grows. Our approach evaluates both the network load and the laxity of messages, considering its current topology and real-time constraints while abstracting environmental specificities. The proposed algorithm also accounts for the network unreliability by applying a margin-of-safety parameter. This approach

Furthermore, we present an evaluation of the proposed algorithm over three representative scenarios showing that the algorithm was able to successfully assess the network capacity as it reaches a higher use.
