/**
 * A {@link Path} represents paths within a network that forward traffic from
 * ingress port to egress port. For every {@code next_hop} received in route
 * updates from BGPd, we need to push forwarding paths from every other
 * possible ingress port to the egress port connected to the {@code next_hop}.
 * <p/>
 * The {@link Path} object doesn't contain lists of hops along the path.
 * Rather, it contains details about the egress {@link Interface} and
 * {@code next_hop} IP address. Implicitly, it represents paths from every
 * other ingress port to the {@code Interface}.
 * <p/>
 * Once flow mods are pushed to realize the path in the network, the
 * {@link Path} object will contain a list of pushed flow mods. These are used
 * if the path ever needs to be deleted.
 * <p/>
 * On startup, paths are pushed to all configured BGP peers, on the assumption
 * that they're likely to advertise routes to us. These paths are permanent
 * because the list of peers can't currently change at runtime. If we receive
 * a route for a {@code next_hop} which is not a peer, a temporary path will
 * be installed. These paths are temporary because they are removed if all
 * routes that use them are removed.
 * <p/>
 * Finally, the {@link Path} object counts references of prefixes that make use
 * of the path. If the reference count drops to zero as prefixes are deleted,
 * the path is no longer useful and will be removed from the network.
