For inter-partitions communication, we introduce several concepts:
   
- The node identifier is a unique number for each node.
- The global port identifier is a unique number for each port in
         the whole distributed system. This unique identifier identifies each
         port of each node.
- The local port identifier is a unique number for each port on
         the local node only. It identifies each inter-partition
         communication port on the local kernel.
   
So, for each node, you must specify in the kernel:
   
- The node identifier of the current node
- The number of nodes in the distributed system
- The number of inter-partitions ports in the distributed system
- The number of inter-partitions ports on the local node
- All identifiers of global ports
- All identifiers of local ports
- The association between global ports and nodes
- The association between global ports and local ports
- The association between local ports and global ports
