+/**
+ * @file metis_FibEntry.h
+ * @brief A forwarding entry in the FIB table
+ *
+ * A Forwarding Information Base (FIB) entry (MetisFibEntry) is a
+ * set of nexthops for a name. It also indicates the forwarding strategy.
+ *
+ * Each nexthop contains the ConnectionId assocaited with it. This could be
+ * something specific like a MAC address or point-to-point tunnel. Or, it
+ * could be something general like a MAC group address or ip multicast overlay.
+ *
+ * See metis/strategies/metis_Strategy.h for a description of forwarding strategies.
+ * In short, a strategy is the algorithm used to select one or more nexthops from
+ * the set of available nexthops.
+ *
+ * Each nexthop also contains a void* to a forwarding strategy data container.
+ * This allows a strategy to keep proprietary information about each nexthop.
+ *
