Lifecycle
Figure
shows the life-cycle of a node. The states
can be described as follows:
- Inert state
- No netlets are present. For example, the machine might
be switched off.
- Running state
- Normal operational state when netlets are running,
and new netlets can be created.
- Shutting-down state
- Transitional phase where netlets have been given
time to shut down, but no new netlets can be created.
Netlets are not preserved through inert periods.
