//
// Implements the OSPFv2 routing protocol.
//
// The `ospfConfig` parameter can specify an XML file describing the
// configuration of all OSPF routers and their interfaces in the network.
//
// The XML configuration must contain exactly one `<OSPFASConfig>` root element which
// describes an OSPF autonomous system with its areas and its routers. The
// Area IDs, Router IDs and area Address Ranges must be unique within the
// autonomous system. Various OSPF parameters can be specified for the network
// interfaces in the XML file. If those parameters are not specified in the XML file,
// the module parameters of the OSPF module are used instead.
//
// - `<Area>` - defines an area in the network.
//   - `@id` - Mandatory attribute containing the area ID in dotted decimal notation.
//     The backbone is '0.0.0.0'. (NOTE: This is not an IP address though it looks like one.)
//   - `<AddressRange>` - Describes an address range of an OSPF area.
//     - `@address` - A string which is resolvable by `IPvXAddressResolver` class. (e.g. Area1.R1>Area1.N1)
//     - `@mask` - A string which is resolvable by `IPvXAddressResolver` class. (e.g. Area1.R1>Area1.N1)
//     - `@status` - Decides whether an address range will be advertised in Summary LSAs. (Advertise or `DoNotAdvertise`)
//   - `<Stub>` - Any OSPF area (except the backbone) can be configured as a stub area.
//     - ``@defaultCost`` - A required attribute that defines the default route cost (>=0 and <1000) advertised for the area.
//
// - `<Router>` - Describes an OSPF router with its interfaces. Interface `ifName` and 'toward' values
//   must be unique within the same router and only one of them must be specified. A router is
//   identified by its Router ID, which is given as an IPv4 address (but isn't necessarily one).
//   It may contain various child elements.
//   - `@name` - A required string containing a node path specifying the router to which this configuration belongs to.
//   - `@RFC1583Compatible` - optional true or false value (defined in RFC 3101)
//   - `@DistributeDefaultRoute` - optional true or false value (distribute the default route, if exists, using AS-External LSA)
//
//   - `<PointToPointInterface>` - Describes the parameters of a point-to-point interface. It is identified
//     in the router by its `ifName` value, or name of toward module.
//     - `@ifName` - A unique name of the interface (e.g. eth0) or ...

//     - `@authenticationKey` - Optional 8 byte hexadecimal value e.g. 0x5D8ABDAEDFCB8BEE
//
//   - `<BroadcastInterface>` - Describes the parameters of a broadcast interface. It is identified in
//     the router by its `ifName` value, or name of toward module. `HelloInterval` and `RouterDeadInterval`
//     must be the same for all router interfaces attached to the same network.
//     - `@ifName` - A unique name of the interface (e.g. eth0) or ...
