public class TableEntry
extends KUSmartPacketV2
The TableEntry is a Smartpacket extension used by the RIPRouting protocol. Each one has a the information about one entry in the router table and is sent to neighboring nodes. Each entry is a 4-tuple containing information about a network node known by its virtual name, the next hop to be used for forwarding to the destination, the hop count to the node and the update interval for the entry. If the entry is not updated within the given interval, it is automatically removed.
