public class DynamicRouteTable

extends java.lang.Object

The ANTS DynamicRouteTable contains all of the state and code for maintaining a dynamic routing table. This includes sending out periodic updates, sending out immediate updates, (and receiving both). GC'ing stale routes, etc.

I think there are some problems in here for a node that has more than one physical address. It will probably send the wrong info out to the other nodes...

Based very strongly on the dynamic route table from the original MIT ANTS. I renamed and moved a lot of things around, but I (hopefully) didn't change the update algorithm.

XXX odd interaction with the base routetable
