There are two multihop collection layers in 2.x; CTP and MLQI. CTP is  
cross-platform and has generally superior performance (efficiency,  
delivery) to MLQI, but requires more RAM and code space. MLQI is much  
lighter weight, but only works on CC2420 platforms (tmote, micaz) and  
can perform badly in some environments.
