-/**
-
-The VPP Object Model (VOM) library.
-
-Before we begin, a glossary of terms:
-   - Agent or client: A user mode process that links to and uses the VOM library
-     to programme VPP
-   - VPP: A running instance of VPP
-   - High Availability (HA): Scenarios where the client and/or VPP restart with
-     minimal service interruption.
-   - CReate, Update, Delete (CRUD): An API style where the producer issues
-     notifications to changes to objects
-
-The VOM is a C++ library that models entities in VPP as C++ classes. The
- relationships between VOM objects and VPP entities is not always 1:1. Some
- effort has been made to construct a higher level, more abstract API to VPP
- programming*.
-The client programming model is simple (or at least I intended it to be..). The
-client deals in ‘desired’ state, that is, it expresses the objects it wants to
-exists (in VPP) and the properties that the object should have, i.e**;
-    Interface af1(“my-af-packet-1”, AFPACKET, admin::UP);
-Then the client ‘writes’ this object into the ‘model’
-    OM::write(“clients-thing-1”, af1);
-
-“clients-thing-1” is a description of the entity within the client’s domain that
-‘owns’ (or has locked or has a reference to) the VOM object. There can be many
-owners of each VOM object. It will be the last owner’s update that will be
-programmed in VPP. This model means that the client is not burdened with
-maintaining which of its objects have created which VOM objects. If the client
-is itself driven by a CRUD API, then create notifications are implemented as
- above. Update notifications add two extra statements;
-    OM::mark(“clients-thing-1”);
-    … do writes ….
-    OM::sweep(“clients-thing-1”);
-These ‘mark’ and ‘sweep’ statements are indications to OM that firstly, indicate
-that all the objects owned by “clients-thing-1” are now stale, i.e that the
-client may no longer need them. If one of the subsequent writes should update a
-stale object, then it is no longer stale. The sweep statement will ‘remove’ all
-the remaining stale objects. In this model, the client does not need to maintain
-the mapping of VOM objects to its own objects – it can simply express what it
-needs now.
-The delete notification is simply:
-     OM::remove(“clients-thing-1”);
-Which will remove all the objects in VOM that are owned by “clients-thing-1”.
-Where ‘remove’ in this sense means unlock and unreference, the VOM object, and
-VPP state, will only be truly removed once there are no more owners. This is
-equivalent to a mark & sweep with no intermediate writes.
-
-To provide this client side model the VOM is a stateful library, meaning that
-for each entity it creates in VPP, VOM maintains its own representation of that
-object. VOM can therefore be memory hungry. The desired state is expressed by
-the client, the ‘actual’ state is maintained by VOM. VOM will consolidate the
-two states when the client writes to the OM and thus issue VPP only the changes
-required.
-
-The concepts of ownership and statefulness also allow the support for HA
-scenarios.
-VPP restart: When VPP restarts, VOM will reconnect and ‘replay’ its state, in
-dependency order, to VPP. The client does not need to regenerate its desired
-state.
-Client restart: when the client restarts, VOM will read/dump the current state
-of all VPP objects and store them in the OM owned by the special owner “boot”.
-As the client reprogrammes its desired state, objects will become owned by both
-the boot process and the client. At the point in time, as determined by the
-client, all stale state, that owned only by boot, can be purged. Hence the
-system reaches the correct final state, with no interruption to VPP forwarding.
-
-
-Basic Design:
-
-Each object in VOM (i.e. an interface, route, bridge-domain, etc) is stored in a
-per-type object database, with an object-type specific key. This ‘singular’ DB
-has a value-type of a weak pointer to the object. I use the term ‘singular’ to
-refer to the instance of the object stored in these databases, to be distinct
-from the instances the client constructs to represent desired state.
-The ‘client’ DB maintains the mapping of owner to object. The value type of the
-client DB is a shared pointer to the singular instance of the owned object.
-Once all the owners are gone, and all the shared pointers are destroyed, the
-singular instance is also destroyed.
-
-Each VOM object has some basic behaviour:
-  update: issue to VPP an update to this object’s state. This could include the
-          create
-  sweep: delete the VPP entity – called when the object is destroyed.
-  replay: issue to VPP all the commands needed to re-programme (VPP restart HA
-          scenario)
-  populate: read state from VPP and add it to the OM (client restart HA
-scenario)
-
-The object code is boiler-plate, in some cases (like the ACLs) even template.
-The objects are purposefully left as simple, functionality free as possible.
-
-Communication with VPP is through a ‘queue’ of ‘commands’. A command is
-essentially an object wrapper around a VPP binary API call (although we do use
-the VAPI C++ bindings too). Commands come in three flavours:
-  RPC: do this; done.
-  DUMP: give me all of these things; here you go
-  EVENT; tell me about these events; here’s one …. Here’s one…. Oh here’s
-         another….. etc.
-
-RPC and DUMP commands are handled synchronously. Therefore on return from
-OM::write(…) VPP has been issued with the request and responded. EVENTs are
-asynchronous and will be delivered to the listeners in a different thread – so
-beware!!
-
-* As such VOM provides some level of insulation to the changes to the VPP
-  binary API.
-** some of the type names are shorten for brevity’s sake.
