fib

System Forwarding Information Base (FIB) management

The FIB represents the system forwarding tables. In this way, it is generally the result of the programming of any routing agents in the system including static and dynamic routing protocols.

This module allows for direct manipulation of the FIB, as well as a means of reacting to the contents of the table as well as perform queries.
