Detailed Description

IP neighbour replace begin.

The use-case is that, for some unspecified reason, the control plane has a different set of neighbours it than VPP currently has. The CP would thus like to 'replace' VPP's set only by specifying what the new set shall be, i.e. it is not going to delete anything that already exists, rather, it wants any unspecified neighbors deleted implicitly. The CP declares the start of this procedure with this replace_begin API Call, and when it has populated all neighbours it wants, it calls the below replace_end API. From this point on it is of course free to add and delete neighbours as usual. The underlying mechanism by which VPP implements this replace is intentionally left unspecified.
