	FIXME: (nonurgent) IpV6 support: receive "route using" blocks
	FIXME: (nonurgent) IpV6 support: generate "nexthop" blocks
		next hops are only advisory, and they are pretty ugly in IpV6.
		I suggest just forgetting about them.

	FIXME (nonurgent): fold rip_connection into rip_interface?

	FIXME: (nonurgent) allow bigger frequencies than 1 regular update in 6 seconds (?)
	FIXME: propagation of metric=infinity into main routing table may or may not be good idea.

/**
 * 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.
