I can go with this one if it's okay.
Although, now that I think about it, might be not that efficient to
implement it that way.
The network stack currently can only return the complete routing table.
The GetNextRoute() semantics would involve either caching the whole
routing table in the BNetworkRoster class, or getting the whole routing
table at every GetNextRoute invocation, which is less that nice.
