However, often nodes have ongoing relationships to provide or receive resources from neighbors. In that case, the node that wants to receive can send a signal to the providing node for where and when they need the previously-agreed-upon resources.

[Kanbans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban) are well-known example of such mutual coordination signals. Kanbans are prototypically cards, but do not need to be cards. Another popular example is tote pans, where the receiving node sends a totepan labelled with the resource type and quantity to the providing node, who will fill it and send it back.
