A communication network (100) for communicating between a plurality of modules A, B, C, D, E is disclosed. Each module is arranged to be connected to or associated with a communication gateway (200, 300, 400, 600), with each communication gateway being connectable to at least one other communication gateway forming the network. The communication gateways each have a dynamic module naming list (204) to enable it to determine a route to direct a message to an appropriate recipient module via at least one directly connected gateway within the network. As each communication gateway has a dynamic module naming list which is automatically updated as to the presence of other modules in the network, such as by the addition or removal of a module, it does not require time consuming manual updating. |
