A method implemented in a control node includes receiving a message from a first node. The method further includes determining whether the received message corresponds to one or more network partitions based at least in part on the partition selection information. The method further includes selecting, in response to determining that the message corresponds to the one or more network partitions, a particular network partition from the one or more network partitions using the partition selection information, and routing the message to a second node associated with the selected particular network partition.
