VPP Object Model (VOM)

The VOM is a C++ library for use by clients/agents of VPP for programming
state. It uses the binary APIs to do so. Various other common client side
functions are also provided. Please see om.hpp for a more detailed description.

+ * A client performs a one time 'registration/subsription' to VPP for the
+ * event in question and then is notified asynchronously when those events
+ * occur.
+ * The model here then is that the lifetime of the event command represensts
+ * the during of the clients subscription. When the command is 'issued' the
+ * subscription begins, when it is 'retired' the subscription ends. For the
+ * subscription duration the client will be notified as events are recieved.
+ * The client can then 'pop' these events from this command object.
