Martin Stein eba22b7551 nic_router: rework updating of TCP/UDP links
* Update links from forward rules only with forward rules and links from
  transport-routing rules only with transport-routing rules. Besides raising
  the performance of the code, this also fixes a former bug that allowed
  forward-rule links to falsely stay active because of a transport-routing
  rule that matched the client destination ip and port.

* Don't use good-case exceptions for updating TCP/UDP links on re-configuration
  of the router.

* Make conditions when to dismiss a forward rule easier to read.
  * Introduces != operator to the public Port class in the net library.

* Fix unnecessary log message that a link was dismissed when only a potentially
  matching forward rule turned out to be not matching.

* Apply Genode coding style to if statements with a single body statement.

                      =================================
                      Genode Operating System Framework
                      =================================


This is the source tree of the reference implementation of the Genode OS
architecture. For a general overview about the architecture, please refer to
the project's official website:

:Official project website for the Genode OS Framework:

  [https://genode.org/documentation/general-overview]

The current implementation can be compiled for 8 different kernels: Linux,
L4ka::Pistachio, L4/Fiasco, OKL4, NOVA, Fiasco.OC, seL4, and a custom "hw"
microkernel for running Genode without a 3rd-party kernel. Whereas the Linux
version serves us as development vehicle and enables us to rapidly develop the
generic parts of the system, the actual target platforms of the framework are
microkernels. There is no "perfect" microkernel - and neither should there be
one. If a microkernel pretended to be fit for all use cases, it wouldn't be
"micro". Hence, all microkernels differ in terms of their respective features,
complexity, and supported hardware architectures.

Genode allows the use of each of the kernels listed above with a rich set of
device drivers, protocol stacks, libraries, and applications in a uniform way.
For developers, the framework provides an easy way to target multiple different
kernels instead of tying the development to a particular kernel technology. For
kernel developers, Genode contributes advanced workloads, stress-testing their
kernel, and enabling a variety of application use cases that would not be
possible otherwise. For users and system integrators, it enables the choice of
the kernel that fits best with the requirements at hand for the particular
usage scenario.


Documentation
#############

The primary documentation is the book "Genode Foundations", which is available
on the front page of Genode website:

:Download the book "Genode Foundations":

  [https://genode.org]

The book describes Genode in a holistic and comprehensive way. It equips you
with a thorough understanding of the architecture, assists developers with the
explanation of the development environment and system configuration, and
provides a look under the hood of the framework. Furthermore, it contains the
specification of the framework's programming interface.

The project has a quarterly release cycle. Each version is accompanied with
detailed release documentation, which is available at the documentation
section of the project website:

Directory overview
##################

The source tree is composed of the following subdirectories:

:'doc':

  This directory contains general documentation along with a comprehensive
  collection of release notes.

:'repos':

  This directory contains the source code, organized in so-called source-code
  repositories. Please refer to the README file in the 'repos' directory to
  learn more about the roles of the individual repositories.

:'tool':

  Source-code management tools and scripts. Please refer to the README file
  contained in the directory.

:'depot':

  Directory used by Genode's package-management tools. It contains the public
  keys and download locations of software providers.


Additional hardware support
###########################

The framework supports a variety of hardware platforms such as different ARM
SoC families via supplemental repositories.
