it is certainly very tempting to use a formalism somehow similar to
how it is defined on real network. One would have to define the
routing tables of each routers interconnections sub-networks, just
in a global and compact way instead. This eases the modeling of very
large systems, and allows highly optimized datastructures and
algorithms in the simulator. The proposed description mechanism is
