Abstract
A method for sharing thermal load between nodes in a communication network includes monitoring the thermal load of a first node in the communication network. The first node is an advantaged node. When the thermal load of the first node is a predetermined value, a second node is selected as an advantaged node. A notification message is transmitted to the plurality of nodes in the communication network identifying the second node as an advantaged node for at least a subset of message traffic of the first node.
