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
algorithms in the simulator. The proposed description mechanism is
thus much more convenient and efficient. In addition, it is more
expressive than the classical solution based on forwarding tables on

The price to pay is that this representation of networks is very
