Akka.net routee's parent

It maybe a newb's question, but I can't find an answer both here and on http://getakka.net/docs/. So, the question is - who is a Parent for a routee actor? The actual router's supervisor or a router itself?

Well, after some additional search, I guess I found the answer here - http://getakka.net/docs/working-with-actors/Routers#pools-vs-groups

Routers are implemented as actors, so a router is supervised by it's parent, and they may supervise children.

Group routers use routees created somewhere else, it doesn't have children of its own. If a routee dies, a group router will have no knowledge of it.

Pool routers on the other hand create their own children. The router is therefore also the routee's supervisor.

In my case, it was a pool router, so a router will be an actual Parent of the routee.
