A Router is an actor that routes incoming messages to outbound actors.
The router routes the messages sent to it to its underlying actors called 'routees'.

SmallestMailboxRouter
*********************
A Router that tries to send to the routee with fewest messages in mailbox.
The selection is done in this order:
* pick any idle routee (not processing message) with empty mailbox
* pick any routee with empty mailbox
* pick routee with fewest pending messages in mailbox
* pick any remote routee, remote actors are consider lowest priority,
since their mailbox size is unknown
Code example:
.. includecode:: code/akka/docs/jrouting/ParentActor.java#smallestMailboxRouter
BroadcastRouter
***************
A broadcast router forwards the message it receives to *all* its routees.
