BEEhive - an Energy-Aware Scheduling and Routing Framework

ly, all packets sent over the network are assumed to be bees. Each node is a hive, where the routing layer consists of the three logical parts: entrance, dance floor and packing floor, as shown in figure 2.1. These three parts do different jobs. The entrance is the interface to the lower layers, the packing floor is the interface to higher transport layers, like TCP or UDP and the dance floor is the main routing instance.
