   Hello   
      
   This is more a genric question on the implementation of routers. Does a   
   software in the control plane (let's consider RIP, OSPF or BGP protocols)   
   have to install routing entries in both kernel and underlying hardware   
   (given that the hardware is capable to maintain its FIB), or in such case   
   the kernel doesn't need to have a routing table and the routing table is   
   constructed and maintained entirely by the control plane routing prototols ?   
      
   Thanks.
