/**
* @file
* RTE Table LPM for IPv4
*
* This table uses the Longest Prefix Match (LPM) algorithm to uniquely
* associate data to lookup keys.
*
* Use-case: IP routing table. Routes that are added to the table associate a
* next hop to an IP prefix. The IP prefix is specified as IP address and depth
* and cover for a multitude of lookup keys (i.e. destination IP addresses)
* that all share the same data (i.e. next hop). The next hop information
* typically contains the output interface ID, the IP address of the next hop
* station (which is part of the same IP network the output interface is
* connected to) and other flags and counters.
*
* The LPM primitive only allows associating an 8-bit number (next hop ID) to
* an IP prefix, while a routing table can potentially contain thousands of
* routes or even more. This means that the same next hop ID (and next hop
* information) has to be shared by multiple routes, which makes sense, as
* multiple remote networks could be reached through the same next hop.
* Therefore, when a route is added or updated, the LPM table has to check
* whether the same next hop is already in use before using a new next hop ID
* for this route.
*
* The comparison between different next hops is done for the first
* “entry_unique_size” bytes of the next hop information (configurable
* parameter), which have to uniquely identify the next hop, therefore the user
* has to carefully manage the format of the LPM table entry (i.e. the next
* hop information) so that any next hop data that changes value during
* run-time (e.g. counters) is placed outside of this area.
