The method further includes constructing primary packet containing the primary segments of each of the plurality of parameter updates, and one or more additional packets including the one or more additional segments of the plurality of parameter updates. The method further includes transmitting the plurality of packets from the first node, wherein the primary packet is transmitted with a higher priority than any of the one or more additional packets.
