/**
 * @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.
 *
