The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for distributing information in a communication network, a subject node of the network comprising two or more interfaces, each thereof being defined by a respective input port and a respective output port of said node, each port being provided to connect to a unidirectional connection. <??>According to the invention, input messages are received at input ports of the subject node, and for each input message being of a kind for which a subject distribution mechanism shall apply and being associated with a network path defined by an output port of the subject node, information pertaining to the input message is transmitted via the output port that forms part of the same interface as said input port, thereby to reach another node connected to the same unidirectional link as the subject node, and via said output port defining said network path, thereby to acknowledge the reception of said input message to the sender thereof. <IMAGE> |
