 public FlowHandle registerProtocol(Protocol p,
                                    String protName) throws Exception

alternate form of register, returns the flow handle associated with that protocol to the caller.

 public void unregister(Protocol p)

Unregister a protocol previously registered at this node

 public boolean routeForNode(Capsule c,
                             int dst)

 public boolean sendToNeighbors(Capsule c)

send a capsule to all neighbors. XXX remove that comment if cleared Previously, this method used a list of neighbors, maintained in RouteTable. This list, however, included only those neighbors known at initialization time. djw said that's a bug, so I'm using the current list, returned in an Enumeration by the RouteTable. hope that didn't break the auction.

 public boolean deliverToApp(Capsule c,
                             int d)

 public long time()

 public void log(String msg)

 public void sleep(long millis)

For use by node components and applications to delay execution

 public void run()
