+<sect1>About routing tables
+
+<p>Bird has one or more routing tables. Each routing table contains
+list of known routes. Each route has certain atributes, most important
+is prefix of network this route is for. Routing table maintains more
+than one entry for network, but at most one entry for one network and
+one protocol. The entry with biggest preference is used for
+routing. You can get list of route attributes in "Route attributes"
+section in filters.
