Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting messages in a computer network, and to a computer network of this type. The computer network comprises computing nodes (101-105), said computing nodes (101-105) being interconnected via at least one star coupler (201) and/or at least one multi-hop network (1000), wherein each computing node (101-105) is connected via at least one communication line (110) to the at least one star coupler (201) and/or the at least one multi-hop network (1000), and wherein the computing nodes (101-105) exchange Ethernet messages with one another and with the at least one star coupler (201) and/or the at least one multi-hop network (1000). A set of two or more components are directly connected to one another in each case by two or more communication lines (110, 111), wherein each component in the set is either a computing node (101-105) or a star coupler (201), and sending components in the set of components send to at least two of the two or more communication lines (110, 111) at least a proportion of the Ethernet messages that are to be sent, and receiving components in the set of components then accept and/or forward at least a proportion of the Ethernet messages received via the two or more communication lines (110, 111) only if at least two identical messages are received via at least two different communication lines.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the transmission of messages in a computer network, wherein the computer network comprises nodes (101, 102, 103, 104, 101a, 101b, 102a), which are connected to each other by communication lines (110), e.g., in which each time two nodes are connected to each other, and wherein the nodes (101, 102, 103, 104, 101a, 101b, 102a) exchange messages with each other, and wherein data (D101, D102, D103) in the form of messages is communicated between the nodes, and wherein at least two first nodes (101, 102; 102, 103) send data (D101, D102; D102, D103) to a common second node (103; 104), wherein the computer network is designed such that at least one first node (102; 103) lies in at least one communication pathway of an additional first sending node (101; 102) or the plurality of additional first sending nodes to the common second node (103; 104), and wherein at least one first node (102; 103)—the so-called integration node (102; 103)—which is situated closer to the common second node (103; 104) than at least one other first node (101; 102) integrates the data (D101, D102) from at least one of the messages of the at least one node (101; 102) further removed from the common second node (103; 104) into at least one message generated by the integration node (102; 103), which this integration node (102; 103) sends to the common second node (103; 104), and wherein the at least one integration node (102; 103) for the purpose of this integration after the transmission of the proper integration node data (D102; D103) to be transmitted by it continues with the transmission of at least one message transmitting this proper integration node data (D102; D103), a so-called integration message, by inserting the data (D101, D102) being integrated of the at least one additional first node (101; 102) and/or fill data (S102) into this at least one message.
