+/**
+ * DOC: Routing information protocol
+ *
+ * Rip is pretty simple protocol so half of this code is interface
+ * with core. We maintain our own linklist of &rip_entry - it serves
+ * as our small routing table. Within rip_tx(), this list is
+ * walked, and packet is generated using rip_tx_prepare(). This gets
+ * tricky because we may need to send more than one packet to one
+ * destination. Struct &rip_connection is used to hold info such as how
+ * many of &rip_entry ies we already send, and is also used to protect
+ * from two concurrent sends to one destination. Each &rip_interface has
+ * at most one &rip_connection.
+ *
+ * We are not going to honour requests for sending part of
+ * routing table. That would need to turn split horizon off,
+ * etc.
+ *
+ * Triggered updates. RFC says: when triggered update was sent, don't send
+ * new one for something between 1 and 5 seconds (and send one
+ * after that). We do something else: once in 5 second
+ * we look for any changed routes and broadcast them.
