 ComputerCraft 1.6 introduces optional "[[Rednet (API)#Protocols|protocol]]s" - simple string names indicating what the message is about. Receiving systems may filter messages according to their protocols, thereby automatically ignoring incoming messages which don't specify an identical string. It's also possible to [[rednet.lookup|lookup]] which systems in the area are interested in certain protocols, hence making it easier to determine where given messages should be sent in the first place.
