Generic record types
Records hold snippets of information that are contained in a BGP packet. The type of the key is variable: it can be an NLRI, or the NLRI can be disassembled into several records with the prefixes contained in the NLRI as key.
A record can be turned into a message (MessageRecord trait) to be ready to be send to other units, or external systems. A message has no references (anymore).
example: BGP packet → disassemble into records → turn into message → send to other units
See bgp module for records specific to BGP.
