In a store-and-forward system, there is no such thing as "costless", assuming 
you're talking about time. 
  Multi-hop implies you are doing some type of wireless communications.  If 
this is true, you probably should look at either OLSR or AODV wireless mesh 
routing protocols, both of which will run on Gumstix.  I have a great deal of 
experience with olsrd, and can provide some assistance to get you started.
