Detailed Description

The Clock interface.

The clock interface is used by BgpFsm to get current time to check for time-based events like peer hold timer expired, and determine the timing of KEEPALIVE message. BgpFsm comes with a default Clock implementation, RealtimeClock. RealtimeClock is a clock that uses system time as time.

This might be useful if BgpFsm is used inside a simulator like ns3. A Ns3Clock class should be implemented to report simulated time to BgpFsm.
