   I am unable to understand how a rtable structure casted to dst_entry will 
give 
   a correct pointer to the input() function. I looked at the fields in rtable 
   and dst_entry, the fields in the structures are cannot be lined up (the 
   fourth field in rtable is not the same type as the fourth field in 
   dst_entry). 

"struct rtable" starts with a "struct dst_entry"
