+ * FIBs are composed of two prefix data-bases (akak tables). The non-forwarding
+ * table contains all the routes that the control plane has programmed, the
+ * forwarding table contains the sub-set of those routes that can be used to
+ * forward packets.
+ * In the IPv4 FIB the non-forwarding table is an array of hash tables indexed
+ * by mask length, the forwarding table is an mtrie
+ *
+ * This IPv4 FIB is used by the protocol independent FIB. So directly using
