A method for enabling multi-channel signaling in a communication network, including a multitude of communication nodes, wherein the communication among the communication nodes is performed by sending and receiving messages on communication channels including a control channel and at least one service channel, is characterized in that communication nodes embed information related to communication channel usage in messages sent on one of the communication channels, in particular the control channel, wherein the information indicates to others of the communication nodes a communication channel, in particular a service channel, intended to be employed for a specific service and/or application by the communication node having sent the respective message, and wherein communication nodes that receive a message including information related to communication channel usage forward the information by embedding the information in any of their own messages to be sent on a communication channel, in particular on the control channel.
