A method for virtual end nodes indicates in routing information (51) that
the data packet is for a "special access" to an end node with a virtual address
(60). An RF network device then inserts the identity of the physical end
node (virtual address) into user information (62). If an access point (14)
determines that the user information is for the virtual address (66), then
all virtual end nodes 41-43 receive the data packet and analyze the virtual
end node identity from the user information (68).
