// table.  This routing library has very few features and may actually route
// incorrectly in some cases, but it should work the majority of the time.

	// and destination IP address.

	// Callers may pass in nil for src, in which case the src is treated as
	// either 0.0.0.0 or ::, depending on whether dst is a v4 or v6 address.

	// It returns the interface on which to send the packet, the gateway IP
	// to send the packet to (if necessary), the preferred src IP to use (if
	// available).  If the preferred src address is not given in the routing
	// table, the first IP address of the interface is provided.
	//
	// If an error is encountered, iface, geteway, and
	// preferredSrc will be nil, and err will be set.
