+ * @brief Global routing protocol for IP version 4 stacks.

+ * protocols are added to a list maintained by the Ipv4L3Protocol.  Every 
+ * stack gets one routing protocol for free -- the Ipv4StaticRouting routing
+ * protocol is added in the constructor of the Ipv4L3Protocol (this is the 
+ * piece of code that implements the functionality of the IP layer).
+ *
+ * As an option to running a dynamic routing protocol, a GlobalRouteManager
+ * object has been created to allow users to build routes for all participating
+ * nodes.  One can think of this object as a "routing oracle"; it has
+ * an omniscient view of the topology, and can construct shortest path
+ * routes between all pairs of nodes.  These routes must be stored 
+ * somewhere in the node, so therefore this class Ipv4GlobalRouting
+ * is used as one of the pluggable routing protocols.  It is kept distinct
+ * from Ipv4StaticRouting because these routes may be dynamically cleared
+ * and rebuilt in the middle of the simulation, while manually entered
+ * routes into the Ipv4StaticRouting may need to be kept distinct.
+ *
+ * This class deals with Ipv4 unicast routes only.
