As far as I know 2 kinds of routing are supported by LANs : SPF and
Hierarchical. You should be aware that LANs are implemented as virtual nodes and
therefore the LAN itself is assigned a Node address. More info in the manual,
except for the mac classifier part that is deprecated. Source code is in
tcl/lan/vlan.tcl.
