Abstract: A Method for switching from a distributed principle to a master-slave principle in a network, wherein the network is consisting of a number of end systems (202 - 207), and wherein the end systems (202 - 207) are capable of exchanging information in the form of messages, characterized in that at least one concentrator device (303) is provided in the network and wherein the at least one concentrator device (303) a) is capable of manipulating arbitrary messages of one or more protocol layers received of an end system (202 - 207) before relaying said message, with or without manipulation, to the end systems, and/or b) is capable of generating arbitrary messages of one or more protocol layers, which messages are relayed to the end systems (202 - 207), and wherein the messages relayed by the concentrator device (303) are used in the end systems (202 - 207) for realizing at least one system level function, for example for the synchronization of the local clocks. Furthermore, the invention relates to different devices such as the concentrator device and a network with such a concentrator device.
