Detailed Description

The single RibManager class instance is the top-level class in the RIB process from which everything else is built and run. It contains the four RIBs for IPv4 unicast routes, IPv4 multicast routes, IPv6 unicast routes and IPv6 multicast routes. It also contains the RIB's main eventloop.
