+/// @brief Random IP address/prefix permutation based on Fisher-Yates shuffle.
+///
+/// This class is used to shuffle IP addresses or delegated prefixes within
+/// the specified range. It is following the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm
+/// described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle.
+///
+/// The original algorithm is modified to keep the minimal information about
+/// the current state of the permutation and relies on the caller to collect
+/// and store the next available value. In other words, the generated and
+/// already returned random values are not stored by this class.
+///
+/// The class assumes that initially the IP addresses or delegated prefixes
+/// in the specified range are in increasing order. Suppose we're dealing with
+/// the following address range: 192.0.2.1-192.0.2.5. Therefore our addresses
+/// are initially ordered like this: a[0]=192.0.2.1, a[1]=192.0.2.2 ...,
+/// a[4]=192.0.2.5. The algorithm starts from the end of that range, i.e. i=4,
+/// so a[i]=192.0.2.5. A random value from the range of [0..i-1] is picked,
+/// i.e. a value from the range of [0..3]. Let's say it is 1. This value initially
+/// corresponds to the address a[1]=192.0.2.2. In the original algorithm the
+/// value of a[1] is swapped with a[4], yelding the following partial permutation:
+/// 192.0.2.1, 192.0.2.5, 192.0.2.3, 192.0.2.4, 192.0.2.2. In our case, we simply
+/// return the value of 192.0.2.2 to the caller and remember that
+/// a[1]=192.0.2.5. At this point we don't store the values of a[0], a[2] and
+/// a[3] because the corresponding IP addresses can be calculated from the
+/// range start and their index in the permutation. The value of a[1] must be
+/// stored because it has been swapped with a[4] and can't be calculated from
+/// the position index.
+///
+/// In the next step, the current index i (cursor value) is decreased by one.
+/// It now has the value of 3. Again, a random index is picked from the range
+/// of [0..3]. Note that it can be the same or different index than selected
+/// in the previous step. Let's assume it is 0. This corresponds to the address
+/// of 192.0.2.1. This address will be returned to the caller. The value of
+/// a[3]=192.0.2.4 is moved to a[0]. This yelds the following permutation:
+/// 192.0.2.4, 192.0.2.5, 192.0.2.3, 192.0.2.1, 192.0.2.2. However, we only
+/// remember a[0] and a[1]. The a[3] can be still computed from the range
+/// start and the position. The other two have been already returned to the
+/// caller so we forget them.
+///
+/// This algorithm guarantees that all IP addresses or delegated prefixes
+/// belonging to the given range are returned and no duplicates are returned.
+/// The addresses or delegated prefixes are returned in a random order.
+///
+/// @todo Methods of this class should be called in thread safe context. Otherwise
+/// they should be made thread safe.
