/**

 * \brief Access to the Ipv4 forwarding table, interfaces, and configuration
 *
 * This class defines the API to manipulate the following aspects of
 * the Ipv4 implementation:
 * -# set/get an Ipv4RoutingProtocol 
 * -# register a NetDevice for use by the Ipv4 layer (basically, to
 * create Ipv4-related state such as addressing and neighbor cache that 
 * is associated with a NetDevice)
 * -# manipulate the status of the NetDevice from the Ipv4 perspective, 
 * such as marking it as Up or Down, 
 * -# adding, deleting, and getting addresses associated to the Ipv4 
 * interfaces.
 * -# exporting Ipv4 configuration attributes
 * 
 * Each NetDevice has conceptually a single Ipv4 interface associated
 * with it (the corresponding structure in the Linux Ipv4 implementation
 * is struct in_device).  Each interface may have one or more Ipv4
 * addresses associated with it.  Each Ipv4 address may have different
 * subnet mask, scope, etc., so all of this per-address information 
 * is stored in an Ipv4InterfaceAddress class (the corresponding 
 * structure in Linux is struct in_ifaddr)
 *
 * Ipv4 attributes such as whether IP forwarding is enabled and disabled
 * are also stored in this class
 *
 * TO DO:  Add API to allow access to the Ipv4 neighbor table
 *
 * \see Ipv4RoutingProtocol
 * \see Ipv4InterfaceAddress
