 * @brief A global global router
 *
 * This singleton object can query interface each node in the system
 * for a GlobalRouter interface.  For those nodes, it fetches one or
 * more Link State Advertisements and stores them in a local database.
 * Then, it can compute shortest paths on a per-node basis to all routers,
 * and finally configure each of the node's forwarding tables.
 *
 * The design is guided by OSPFv2 \RFC{2328} section 16.1.1 and quagga ospfd.
