/// @brief Common interface representing a network to which the DHCP clients
/// are connected.
///
/// The most common type of network, in Kea's terminology, is a subnet. The
/// @ref Subnet derives from this class. Another types of objects implementing
/// this interface are @ref SharedNetwork4 and @ref SharedNetwork6 objects.
/// They group multiple subnets together to provide means for
/// extending available address pools (a single client may obtain IP
/// address from any of the pools belonging to subnets in the shared
/// network), or for selecting a subnet on a given link, depending on the
/// class of the client (e.g. cable network case: different subnet is
/// selected for cable modems, different one for routers).
///
/// The subnets and shared networks share many data structures, e.g. DHCP
/// options, local interface name, address manipulation methods. Both subnets
/// and shared networks derive from this class to provide the common
/// functionality.
///
/// The DHCP server configuration is complex because many parameters may
/// be specified at different levels of hierarchy. The lower level values,
/// e.g. subnet specific values, take precedence over upper level values,
/// e.g. shared network specific ones. For historical reasons, the DHCP
/// servers expect that the appropriate values are inherited from the
/// upper configuration levels to the lower configuration levels upon
/// the reconfiguration. For example: if a user didn't specify
/// valid-lifetime for a subnet, calling @c Subnet4::getValid() should
/// result in returning a global value of valid-lifetime. In the early
/// Kea days it was achieved by the configuration parsers which would
/// explicitly assign the global valid lifetime to the @c Subnet4
/// instances for which the subnet specific value was not provided. This
/// approach has a major benefit that it is fast. However, it makes
/// the subnets tightly dependent on the global values (and shared
/// network specific values). Modification of the global value must
/// result in modification of this value in all subnets for which
/// there is no explicit value provided. This issue became a serious
/// road block during the implementation of the Configuration Backend.
///
/// The @c Network object has been modified to address the problem of
/// inheritance of global, shared network specific and subnet specific
/// parameters in a generic way, at the same time minimizing the need to
/// change the existing server logic.
///
/// The @c Network object now holds the pointer to the "parent" @c Network
/// object. Thus subnets which belong to a shared network will have
/// that shared network as its parent. Stand-alone subnets, will have
/// no parent.
///
/// The general idea is that the accessor functions of the network
/// will first check if the accessed value is specified or not (that
/// is handled by @c util::Optional object). If the value is specified
/// it is returned. Otherwise, the object will check if there is a
/// parent object it belongs to and will call the appropriate method
/// of that object. If the value is present it is returned. Otherwise
/// the global value is returned.
///
/// Accessing global values from the @c Network object is troublesome.
/// There is no uniform way to access those values. For example, the
/// given network may be in a staging or current configuration and
/// it really has no means to know in which of the two it belongs.
/// In fact, an attempt to pass the pointer to the @c SrvConfig object
/// would cause a circular dependency between the @c Network and the
/// @c SrvConfig. Even if it was possible and the @c Network had
/// access to the specific @c SrvConfig instance, it doesn't handle
/// the cases when the @c SrvConfig instance was modified.
///
/// To deal with the problem of accessing the global parameters in a
/// flexible manner, we elected to use an optional callback function
/// which can be associated with the @c Network object. This callback
/// implements the logic to retrieve global parameters and return them
/// in a well known form, so as the @c Network accessors can use them.
