SimpleFabric application is built to replace legacy leaf networks where lP subnets are collocated with each leaf L2 switches and do simple IP routing to upper gateway to Internet
L2 Forwarding
L3 Forwarding
Neighbour Handling
Fault Tolerance
L2Networks
IpSubnets
BorderRoutes

Topology configurations and events are all maintained by SimpleFabricManager and notified to sub modules to apply updates status.
Reactive Routing is handled by SimpleFabricReactiveRouting module and ARPs are forwarded by SimpleFabricNeighbour module.
