Detailed Description

A Delagate is a means to implmenet the Delagation design pattern; the extension of an objects functionality through the composition of, and delgation to, other objects.

These 'other' objects are delegates. Delagates are thus attached to other FIB objects to extend their functionality.

union { ... }

A union of data for the different delegate types These delegates are stored in a sparse vector on the entry, so they must all be of the same size.

We could use indirection here for all types, i.e. store an index, that's ok for large delegates, like the attached export but for the chain delegates it's excessive

dpo_id_t fib_entry_delegate_t_::fd_dpo

Valid for the forwarding chain delegates.

The LB that is built.

fib_node_index_t fib_entry_delegate_t_::fd_entry_index

The FIB entry object to which the delagate is attached.

fib_node_index_t fib_entry_delegate_t_::fd_index

Valid for the attached import cases.

An index of the importer/exporter
