/*
 * The Forwarding Plane Manager (FPM) is an optional component that
 * may be used in scenarios where the router has a forwarding path
 * that is distinct from the kernel, commonly a hardware-based fast
 * path. It is responsible for programming forwarding information
 * (such as routes and nexthops) in the fast path.
 *
 * In Quagga, the Routing Information Base is maintained in the
 * 'zebra' infrastructure daemon. Routing protocols communicate their
 * best routes to zebra, and zebra computes the best route across
 * protocols for each prefix. This latter information comprises the
 * bulk of the Forwarding Information Base.
 *
 * This header file defines a point-to-point interface using which
 * zebra can update the FPM about changes in routes. The communication
 * takes place over a stream socket. The FPM listens on a well-known
 * TCP port, and zebra initiates the connection.
 *
 * All messages sent over the connection start with a short FPM
 * header, fpm_msg_hdr_t. In the case of route add/delete messages,
 * the header is followed by a netlink message. Zebra should send a
 * complete copy of the forwarding table(s) to the FPM, including
 * routes that it may have picked up from the kernel.
 *
 * The FPM interface uses replace semantics. That is, if a 'route add'
 * message for a prefix is followed by another 'route add' message, the
 * information in the second message is complete by itself, and replaces
 * the information sent in the first message.
 *
 * If the connection to the FPM goes down for some reason, the client
 * (zebra) should send the FPM a complete copy of the forwarding
 * table(s) when it reconnects.
