A message (454) intended for delivery to a sub-node (448) is formatted, in accordance with an agreed upon distribution pattern for a plurality of sub-nodes (448) connected to an end node (444), into a communication (470) addressed to the end node (444) associated with the destination sub-node (448). The distribution pattern specifies a sequenced order (472) of the plurality of sub-nodes (448) relating to a message distribution pattern. When the communication (470) is received by the addressee end node (444), the message or messages (454) contained therein and delimited by markers are distributed to the attached sub-nodes (448) following the sequenced order (472) of the agreed distribution pattern. Accordingly, the need for direct sub-node (448) addressing of message communications (470) is obviated.
