Distinction routing table vs forwarding table #160

Closed GregoryVds closed 4 years ago

GregoryVds commented 9 years ago

The section "2.2.3 The control plane" starts by explaining that one of the objectives of the control plane is to maintain the routing tables that are used on all routers.

I believe that the distinction between routing table and forwarding tables should appear right there.

The note explaining the difference only appears a few pages later just before the "Link state routing" section.
