Abstract
The invention relates to a network comprising a plurality of network nodes and one star node, which star node is provided for the direct coupling of at least two network nodes. The star node comprises a plurality of star interfaces which are assigned to at least one network node and which comprise each an activity detector for detecting activities in the message signal coming from the assigned network node and for transferring the message signal from the assigned network node to the other star interfaces or from another star interface to the assigned network node in dependence on at least one activity.
