Elements for Backpressure support and others

[kohoumas]

Backpressure ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpressure_routing ) is a throughput-optimal algorithm for dynamically routing over a multi-hop network. Many implementations have been done, trying to adopt the Backpressure main principles. The following publications describe the implementations that are based on the suggested contributions.
