/**
 * @short Stores a Route and bounds on the validity of the route.
 *
 * The RouteRange class is used to hold an annotated routing entry.
 * It is used when the @ref RegisterTable is registering interest in
 * routing information associated with a specific address.  It holds
 * an IP address, the route that would be used to route that address,
 * and the top and bottom addresses of the route range that includes
 * that address for which this route applies without being overlayed
 * by a more specific route.  For example:
 *
 * Suppose an @ref OriginTable holds the routes 1.0.0.0/16 and
 * 1.0.1.0/24.  The address we're interested in is 1.0.0.10.  Then if
 * we ask this OriginTable for the RouteRange for 1.0.0.10, we get:
 *
 *   address: 1.0.0.10
 *   route: the route for 1.0.0.0/16
 *   top: 1.0.0.255
 *   bottom: 1.0.0.0
 *
 * Ie, the route for 1.0.0.10 is 1.0.0.0/16, and this answer is also
 * valid for addresses in the range 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.0.255 inclusive.

/**
 * @short Base class for a routing table.
 *
 * This is the base class for a routing table.  A RIB consists of a
 * tree of RouteTables that take routes from routing protocols and
 * merge them together so that routes that emerge from the last table
 * are the best routes available, and have nexthop information that is
 * for an immediate neighbor of this router.  See the RIB design
 * document for an overview of how RouteTable are plumbed together to
 * form a RIB.
 *
 * All RouteTables that form the RIB are derived from this base class.
 *
 * RouteTables take routing changes in from one or more parents, and
 * pass on those changes to the _next_table if the change is for the
 * best of the alternative routes.
 *
 * RouteTables take route lookup requests from their _next_table, and
 * pass on those requests to their parents.  If more than one parent
 * has a response, only the best is returned as the answer.
