Abstract

The invention concerns a method for the transmission of messages in a computer network, wherein the computer network comprises nodes (101, 102, 103, 104, 101a, 101b, 102a), which are connected to each other by communication lines (110), e.g., in which each time two nodes are connected to each other, and wherein the nodes (101, 102, 103, 104, 101a, 101b, 102a) exchange messages with each other, and wherein data (D101, D102, D103) in the form of messages is communicated between the nodes, and wherein at least two first nodes (101, 102; 102, 103) send data (D101, D102; D102, D103) to a common second node (103; 104), wherein the computer network is designed such that at least one first node (102; 103) lies in at least one communication pathway of an additional first sending node (101; 102) or the plurality of additional first sending nodes to the common second node (103; 104), and wherein at least one first node (102; 103)—the so-called integration node (102; 103)—which is situated closer to the common second node (103; 104) than at least one other first node (101; 102) integrates the data (D101, D102) from at least one of the messages of the at least one node (101; 102) further removed from the common second node (103; 104) into at least one message generated by the integration node (102; 103), which this integration node (102; 103) sends to the common second node (103; 104), and wherein the at least one integration node (102; 103) for the purpose of this integration after the transmission of the proper integration node data (D102; D103) to be transmitted by it continues with the transmission of at least one message transmitting this proper integration node data (D102; D103), a so-called integration message, by inserting the data (D101, D102) being integrated of the at least one additional first node (101; 102) and/or fill data (S102) into this at least one message.
