The RIB process has a single VifManager instance, which registers
with the FEA process to discover the VIFs on this router and their
IP addresses and prefixes. When the VIFs or their configuration in
the FEA change, the VifManager will be notified, and it will update
the RIBs appropriately. The RIBs need to know about VIFs and VIF
addresses to decide which routes have nexthops that are on directly
connected subnets, and which are nexthops that need to be resolved
using other routes to figure out where next to send the packet.
Only routes with nexthops that are on directly connected subnets
can be sent to the FEA
| enum State { INITIALIZING, READY, FAILED }
| State |
The state of the VifManager. It it hasn't yet successfully
registered with the FEA, it will be in INITIALIZING state. If
it has permanently failed to register with the FEA it will be
in FAILED state. Otherwise it should be in READY state.
VifManager constructor
Parameters:
| xrl_rtr | this process's XRL router.
|
| eventloop | this process's EventLoop.
|
| rib_manager | this class contains the actual RIBs for IPv4
and IPv4, unicast and multicast.

~VifManager ()
| ~VifManager |
VifManager destructor
Start the process of registering with the FEA, etc
[const]
Returns: the state of the VifManager.

void interface_update (const string& ifname,
const uint32_t& event)
| interface_update |
interface_update is called when receiving an XRL from the FEA
indicating that a physical interface on the router has been added,
deleted, or reconfigured
Parameters:
| ifname | the name of the physical interface that changed.
|
| event | the event that occured. One of IF_EVENT_CREATED,
IF_EVENT_DELETED, or IF_EVENT_CHANGED
|
void vif_update (const string& ifname,
const string& vifname, const uint32_t& event)
| vif_update |
vif_update is called when receiving an XRL from the FEA
indicating that a virtual interface on the router has been added,
deleted, or reconfigured
Parameters:
| ifname | the name of the physical interface on which the
virtual interface resides.
|
| vifname | the name of the virtual interface that changed.
|
| event | the event that occured. One of IF_EVENT_CREATED,
IF_EVENT_DELETED, or IF_EVENT_CHANGED
|
void vifaddr4_update (const string& ifname,
const string& vifname,
const IPv4& addr,
const uint32_t& event)
| vifaddr4_update |
vifaddr4_update is called when receiving an XRL from the FEA
indicating that a virtual interface has undergone an address
change. An IPv4 address (and associated prefix length) has
been added, deleted, or reconfigured on this VIF.
Parameters:
| ifname | the name of the interface containing the VIF
|
| vifname | the name of the VIF on which the address change occured.
|
| addr | the address that was added or deleted.
|
| event | the event that occured. One of IF_EVENT_CREATED or
IF_EVENT_DELETED
|
void vifaddr6_update (const string& ifname,
const string& vifname,
const IPv6& addr,
const uint32_t& event)
| vifaddr6_update |
vifaddr6_update is called when receiving an XRL from the FEA
indicating that a virtual interface has undergone an address
change. An IPv6 address (and associated prefix length) has
been added, deleted, or reconfigured on this VIF.
Parameters:
| ifname | the name of the interface containing the VIF
|
| vifname | the name of the VIF on which the address change occured.
|
| addr | the address that was added or deleted.
|
| event | the event that occured. One of IF_EVENT_CREATED or
IF_EVENT_DELETED
