Throttling Messages
===================
Contributed by: Kaspar Fischer

The pattern is described `here <http://letitcrash.com/post/28901663062/throttling-messages-in-akka-2>`_.
Balancing Workload Across Nodes
===============================
Contributed by: Derek Wyatt
Often times, people want the functionality of the BalancingDispatcher with the
stipulation that the Actors doing the work have distinct Mailboxes on remote
nodes. In this post we’ll explore the implementation of such a concept.
The pattern is described `here <http://letitcrash.com/post/29044669086/balancing-workload-across-nodes-with-akka-2>`_.
Ordered Termination
===================
Contributed by: Derek Wyatt
When an Actor stops, its children stop in an undefined order. Child termination is
asynchronous and thus non-deterministic.
If an Actor has children that have order dependencies, then you might need to ensure
a particular shutdown order of those children so that their postStop() methods get
called in the right order.
The pattern is described `here <http://letitcrash.com/post/29773618510/an-akka-2-terminator>`_.
