/**
 * @brief Static routing protocol for IP version 4 stacks.
 *
 * In ns-3 we have the concept of a pluggable routing protocol.  Routing
 * protocols are added to a list maintained by the Ipv4L3Protocol.  Every 
 * stack gets one routing protocol for free -- the Ipv4StaticRouting routing
 * protocol is added in the constructor of the Ipv4L3Protocol (this is the 
 * piece of code that implements the functionality of the IP layer).
 *
 * The Ipv4StaticRouting class inherits from the abstract base class 
 * Ipv4RoutingProtocol that defines the interface methods that a routing 
 * protocol must support.
 *
 * When a packet arrives in the Ipv4L3Protocol for transmission, it comes
 * either from a local source via Ipv4L3Protocol::Send or from a remote 
 * source via Ipv4L3Protocol::Forwarding.  In both cases, a function is called
 * (Ipv4L3Protocol::Lookup) to look up the routing information for the packet.
 *
 * The lookup function iterates through the list of routing protocols asking
 * each to see if it can find a route and send the packet.  A callback is 
 * provided during each of these calls that should be considered a pre-
 * packaged send call.  This is done to allow asynchronous calls into 
 * routing subsystems in order to support on-demand routing, for example.  The
 * method for requesting this operation is Ipv4StaticRouting::RequestRoute for
 * the static routing protocol.
 *
 * Each routing protocol is also free to implement its own methods for managing
 * routes which you will find below.  This class manages a set of "static" or
 * manually configured routes for host, network and multicast routes.
 *

 *
 * The source and destination IP addresses for the packet in question are found
 * in the provided Ipv4Header.  There are two major processing forks depending
 * on the type of destination address.  
 *
 * If the destination address is unicast then the routing table is consulted 
 * for a route to the destination and if it is found, the routeReply callback
 * is executed to send the packet (with the found route).
 * 
 * If the destination address is a multicast, then the exact processing steps
 * depend on whether or not the packet has been sourced locally.  This is 
 * determined by the parameter ifIndex.  This is the interface index over which
 * this packet was received.  If the packet has not been received over a
 * network interface, this index will be set to 
 * Ipv4RoutingProtocol::IF_INDEX_ANY (a very large number).  In that case, 
 * we want to avoid the requirement that an explicit route out of each node 
 * must be set, so we don't do anything here.
 * 
 * If the packet is a multicast destination and has been received over a 
 * network interface, a call to this method implies that the packet is being
 * forwarded.  In that case, there must be an explicit route out of the node.
 * A multicast route references the source address, the destination address
 * (the multicast group) and the input interface in order to find a route.
 * We consult the multicast routing table and, if a route is found, send the
 * packet out of as many interfaces as required using the provided callback
 * (think of it as a pre-packaged send call).
 *
 * @param ifIndex The network interface index over which the packed was 
 * received.  If the packet is from a local source, ifIndex will be set to
 * Ipv4RoutingProtocol::IF_INDEX_ANY.
 * @param ipHeader the Ipv4Header containing the source and destination IP
 * addresses for the packet.
 * @param packet The packet to be sent if a route is found.
 * @param routeReply A callback that packaged up the call to actually send the
 * packet.
 * @return Returns true if a route is found and the packet has been sent,
 * otherwise returns false indicating that the next routing protocol should
 * be consulted.  In practice, the static routing protocol is the last chance
 * protocol.

 * This method addresses a problem in the IP stack where a destination address
 * must be present and checksummed into the IP header before the actual 
 * interface over which the packet is sent can be determined.  The answer is
 * to implement a known and intentional cross-layer violation.  This is the
 * endpoint of a call chain that started up quite high in the stack (sockets)
 * and has found its way down to the Ipv4L3Protocol which is consulting the
 * routing protocols for what they would do if presented with a packet of the

 * the destination address is a multicast, and an explicit route is present
 * that includeds multiple output interfaces, that route cannot be used.

 * A multicast route must specify an origin IP address, a multicast group and

 * are sent.
 *
 * Typically there are two main types of multicast routes:  routes of the 
 * first kind are used during forwarding.  All of the conditions must be
 * exlicitly provided.  The second kind of routes are used to get packets off
 * of a local node.  The difference is in the input interface.  Routes for
 * forwarding will always have an explicit input interface specified.  Routes
 * off of a node will always set the input interface to a wildcard specified
 * by the index Ipv4RoutingProtocol::IF_INDEX_ANY.
 *
 * For routes off of a local node wildcards may be used in the origin and
 * multicast group addresses.  The wildcard used for Ipv4Adresses is that 
 * address returned by Ipv4Address::GetAny () -- typically "0.0.0.0".  Usage
 * of a wildcard allows one to specify default behavior to varying degrees.
 *
 * For example, making the origin address a wildcard, but leaving the 
 * multicast group specific allows one (in the case of a node with multiple
 * interfaces) to create different routes using different output interfaces
 * for each multicast group.
 *
 * If the origin and multicast addresses are made wildcards, you have created
 * essentially a default multicast address that can forward to multiple 
 * interfaces.  Compare this to the actual default multicast address that is
 * limited to specifying a single output interface for compatibility with
 * existing functionality in other systems.
