+/// \class RHRouter RHRouter.h <RHRouter.h>
+/// \brief RHReliableDatagram subclass for sending addressed, optionally acknowledged datagrams
+/// multi-hop routed across a network.
+///
+/// Manager class that extends RHReliableDatagram to define addressed messages
+/// That are reliably transmitted and routed across a network. Each message is transmitted reliably 
+/// between each hop in order to get from the source node to the destination node.
+///
+/// With RHRouter, routes are hard wired. This means that each node must have programmed 
+/// in it how to reach each of the other nodes it will be trying to communicate with. 
+/// This means you must specify the next-hop node address for each of the destination nodes, 
+/// using the addRouteTo() function. 
+///
+/// When sendtoWait() is called with a new message to deliver, and the destination address,
+/// RHRouter looks up the next hop node for the destination node. It then uses 
+/// RHReliableDatagram to (reliably) deliver the message to the next hop 
+/// (which is expected also to be running an RHRouter). If that next-hop node is not
+/// the final destination, it will also look up the next hop for the destination node and 
+/// (reliably) deliver the message to the next hop. By this method, messages can be delivered 
+/// across a network of nodes, even if each node cannot hear all of the others in the network.
+/// Each time a message is received for another node and retransmitted to the next hop, 
+/// the HOPS filed in teh header is incremented. If a message is received for routing to another node 
+/// which has exceed the routers max_hops, the message wioll be dropped and ignored. 
+/// This helps prevent infinite routing loops.
+///
+/// RHRouter supports messages with a dest of RH_BROADCAST_ADDRESS. Such messages are not routed, 
+/// and are broadcast (once) to all nodes within range.
+///
+/// The recvfromAck() function is responsible not just for receiving and delivering 
+/// messages addressed to this node (or RH_BROADCAST_ADDRESS), but 
+/// it is also responsible for routing other message to their next hop. This means that it is important to 
+/// call recvfromAck() or recvfromAckTimeout() frequently in your main loop. recvfromAck() will return 
+/// false if it receives a message but it is not for this node.
+///
+/// RHRouter does not provide reliable end-to-end delivery, but uses reliable hop-to-hop delivery. 
+/// If a message is unable to be delivered to an end node during to a delivery failure between 2 hops, 
+/// the source node will not be told about it.
+///
+/// Note: This class is most useful for networks of nodes that are essentially static 
+/// (i.e. the nodes dont move around), and for which the 
+/// routing never changes. If that is not the case for your proposed network, see RHMesh instead.
+///
+/// \par The Routing Table
+///
+/// The routing table is a local table in RHRouter that holds the information about the next hop node 
+/// address for each destination address you may want to send a message to. It is your responsibility 
+/// to make sure every node in an RHRouter network has been configured with a unique address and the 
+/// routing information so that messages are correctly routed across the network from source node to 
+/// destination node. This is usually done once in setup() by calling addRouteTo(). 
+/// The hardwired routing will in general be different on each node, and will depend on the physical 
+/// topololgy of the network.
+/// You can also use addRouteTo() to change a route and 
+/// deleteRouteTo() to delete a route at run time. Youcan also clear the entire routing table
+///
+/// The Routing Table has limited capacity for entries (defined by RH_ROUTING_TABLE_SIZE, which is 10)
+/// if more than RH_ROUTING_TABLE_SIZE are added, the oldest (first) one will be removed by calling 
+/// retireOldestRoute()
+///
+/// \par Message Format
+///
+/// RHRouter add to the lower level RHReliableDatagram (and even lower level RH) class message formats. 
+/// In those lower level classes, the hop-to-hop message headers are in the RH message headers, 
+/// and are handled automcatically by tyhe RH hardware.
+/// RHRouter and its subclasses add an end-to-end addressing header in the payload of the RH message, 
+/// and before the RHRouter application data.
+/// - 1 octet DEST, the destination node address (ie the address of the final 
+///   destination node for this message)
+/// - 1 octet SOURCE, the source node address (ie the address of the originating node that first sent 
+///   the message).
+/// - 1 octet HOPS, the number of hops this message has traversed so far.
+/// - 1 octet ID, an incrementing message ID for end-to-end message tracking for use by subclasses. 
+///   Not used by RHRouter.
+/// - 1 octet FLAGS, a bitmask for use by subclasses. Not used by RHRouter.
+/// - 0 or more octets DATA, the application payload data. The length of this data is implicit 
+///   in the length of the entire message.
+///
+/// You should be careful to note that there are ID and FLAGS fields in the low level per-hop 
+/// message header too. These are used only for hop-to-hop, and in general will be different to 
+/// the ones at the RHRouter level.
+///
+/// \par Testing
+///
+/// Bench testing of such networks is notoriously difficult, especially simulating limited radio 
+/// connectivity between some nodes.
+/// To assist testing (both during RH development and for your own networks) 
+/// RHRouter.cpp has the ability to 
+/// simulate a number of different small network topologies. Each simulated network supports 4 nodes with 
+/// addresses 1 to 4. It operates by pretending to not hear RH messages from certain other nodes.
+/// You can enable testing with a \#define TEST_NETWORK in RHRouter.h
+/// The sample programs rf22_mesh_* rely on this feature.
+///
+/// Part of the Arduino RH library for operating with HopeRF RH compatible transceivers 
+/// (see http://www.hoperf.com)
