Netlet classification

Each of the above--access point, worker, manager--is a different netlet type.

Each different kind of worker or access point is a particular worker type or access point type. The phrase netlet sub-type is synonymous with worker type or access point type.

Each netlet type describes a role. Both workers and managers are managed roles because they are under the control of the Beatrix framework, whereas access points are created in response to external netlets requesting services.

Don't get confused between managed netlets and manager netlets--there's only a one letter difference.

See Figure  on how the netlet classes relate, although the vast majority of these are unlikely to be used directly in most applications.
