The communications network includes a cluster and a plurality of nodes for communicating information to the cluster, which includes a plurality of members. The plurality of nodes includes the remote node and a node adjacent to the cluster in direct communication with the members. The method includes providing a direct linkset between the remote node and at least one of the members of the cluster so that the remote node is directly connected to the cluster, and performing cluster routing of information from the remote node to the members of the cluster not directly connected to the remote node.Other References
