We want to do:
For non-static routing (e.g., in the Distributed Cloud use case) we need for the PDU Forwarding Table Generators to know neighboring nodes and the parameters about the flows connecting them to be able to communicate with them.

Problems that we currently find in RinaSim:
We do not see how, currently, distinct Forwarding Table Generator instances on different nodes can communicate between them or get information about the state of N-1 flows.

Proposed modifications/extensions:
We need an easy way for Forwarding Table Generator instances to communicate between them (if there is one already, how can we do that?). Also, we need to know how the Forwarding Table Generator can be notified upon changes on N-1 flows, like failures, or changes on average delay or losses.
