A method for transport of messages from a sending network node to a receiving network node and for the transport of a reply message from the receiving network node to the sender network node in a distributed data processing network; wherein the distributed data processing network comprises a plurality of network nodes; wherein each message comprises a relay-flag information and a source address information; wherein each receiving network node is configured to send a acknowledgement message in response to every message received; wherein the source address information is the address of the sending network node; wherein the relay-flag information comprises one of: a first value , a second value , and a third value; wherein when the relay-flag information is set to the first value the message is send directly form the sending network node to the receiving network node and the acknowledgement message is send directly from the receiving network node to the sending network node; wherein when the relay-flag information is set to the second value the message is relayed from the sending node via a third network node to the receiving network node and the acknowledgement message is send directly from the receiving network node to the sending network node; wherein when the relay flag information is set to the third value the message is relayed from the sending network node via a third network node to the receiving network node and the acknowledgement message is relayed from the receiving network node via the third network node to the sending network node; and wherein the third network node is determined by the distributed data processing network.
