This class reads the configuration file and maintains the topology of the network. The topology is maintained in a lisp-like list format. When a request arrives the MessageHandler thread forwards the request to this class using the get() interface. The request itself is in a list format with the requested quantity indicated by a wildcard (*) symbol. The request is then matched against the internal list and the list/value matching the wildcard is returned as the reply.
