A node () includes a processor () for determining neighbor nodes in a routing path to a destination based on a routing table associated with the node (). The node () includes a memory for storing a first authenticated tokens. The node includes a transmitter () for transmitting a first request-to-route (RTR) message including an indication specifying information units (IUs) from the first node to the neighbor nodes in a routing path from the first node to the destination. The node () includes a receiver () for receiving a neighbor reply message from one of the neighbor nodes to the first node which indicates that the neighbor node will route the information units (IUs). The transmitter () transmits a second authenticated tokens from the first node to one of the neighbor nodes. The second authenticated tokens are converted into a tradable entity and provide compensation to the neighbor node selected.
