This directory include Vovida implementation of TRIP stack.

    tripstack/docs - High-level design documents and class level detail.
    tripstack/test - A suite of unit test cases, to test LS functions
    tripstack/tripcore - Defines the TRIP message format and encoding/decoding TRIP messages
    tripstack/lsfunctions - Implements the functions of a Location server (LS)  which includes
          - Peer-Peer connection management using Finite State Machine (FSM) (Supporetd)
          - Handling UPDATE message and maintaining TRIB.(TBD)
          - Applying Aggregation/RouteSelection/Local Policies on the routes received (TBD)
          - Advertising routes to Peer Location Servers(LS). (TBD)
    tripstack/lsserver - A simple LocationServer that reads a local lsconf.cfg file to 
            know the whereabouts of Peer LSs and OPEN a session with them.Each peer is 
            listed in lsconf.cfg as host:port in separate lines.The format of
            lscond.cfg is
            LocationServerHost1:port
            LocationServerHost2:port
            ...
    tripstack/lsapi - Prototype to interface a given Proxy in TRIP framework. 

To generate doc++ documentation run,
make doc 
 - This would generate directories docs/tripCoreHtml and docs/lsFunctionsHtml which contains
 html documentation for TRIP stake core and lsfunction classes.
