Detailed Description

IP table replace being.

The use-case is that, for some unspecified reason, the control plane has a very different set of entries it wants in the table than VPP currently has. The CP would thus like to 'replace' VPP's current table only by specifying what the new set of entries shall be, i.e. it is not going to delete anything that already eixts. the CP delcartes the start of this procedure with this begin_replace API Call, and when it has populated all the entries it wants, it calls the below end_replace API. From this point on it is of coursce free to add and delete entries as usual. The underlying mechanism by which VPP implements this replace is purposefully left unspecified.
