Hi Jong-won,

The routing daemons are expected to parse protocol messages and translate them 
into instructions, such as "add 1.0.0.0/8 2.0.0.2 3".  These instructions are 
written to routing table handlers, such as "/click/route_table/ctrl".  Ex:

echo add 1.0.0.0/8 2.0.0.2 3 > /click/route_table/ctrl

assuming that Click is in kernel and 'route_table' is the name of an 
IPRouteTable element.
