Detailed Description

IP interface address replace begin.

The use-case is that, for some unspecified reason, the control plane has a different set of interface addresses 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 eixts, rather, is wants any unspecified interface addresses to be deleted implicitly. The CP declares the start of this procedure with this replace_begin API Call, and when it has populated all addresses it wants, it calls the below replace_end API. From this point on it is of course free to add and delete interface addresses as usual. The underlying mechanism by which VPP implements this replace is intentionally left unspecified.
