/**
 * \defgroup rimemultihop Best-effort multihop forwarding
 * @{
 *
 * The multihop module implements a multihop forwarding mechanism. Routes
 * must have already been setup with the route_add() function. Setting
 * up routes is done with another Rime module such as the \ref
 * routediscovery "route-discovery module".
 *
 * The multihop sends a packet to an identified node in the network by
 * using multi-hop forwarding at each node in the network.  The
 * application or protocol that uses the multihop primitive supplies a
 * routing function for selecting the next-hop neighbor.  If the
 * multihop primitive is requested to send a packet for which no
 * suitable next hop neighbor is found, the caller is immediately
 * notified of this and may choose to initiate a route discovery
 * process.
 *
 *
 * \section multihop-channels Channels
 *
 * The multihop module uses 1 channel.
