 /**
  * A simple container for route information.

+ * This is used both to describe static network configuration and live network
+ * configuration information.  In the static case the interface name (retrieved
+ * via {@link #getInterface}) should be {@code null} as that information will not
+ * yet be known.
  *
- * In order to be used, a route must have a destination prefix and:
- *
- * - A gateway address (next-hop, for gatewayed routes), or
- * - An interface (for directly-connected routes), or
- * - Both a gateway and an interface.
- *
- * This class does not enforce these constraints because there is code that
- * uses RouteInfo objects to store directly-connected routes without interfaces.
- * Such objects cannot be used directly, but can be put into a LinkProperties
- * object which then specifies the interface.

+ * A route may be configured with:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>a destination {@link LinkAddress} for directly-connected subnets,
+ * <li>a gateway {@link InetAddress} for default routes,
+ * <li>or both for a subnet.
