+ * @brief
+ * The IP NULL DPO represents the rubbish bin for IP traffic. Without specifying an
+ * action (i.e. send IMCP type X to sender) it is equivalent to using a drop DPO.
+ * However, in contrast to the drop DPO any route that resovles via a NULL, is
+ * considered to 'resolved' by FIB, i.e. a IP NULL is used when the control plane
+ * is explicitly expressing the desire to drop packets. Drop DPOs are used
+ * internally by FIB when resolution is not possible.
+ *
+ * Any replies to sender are rate limited.
