/*! \class Session
* \brief Kite update Session (\b API).
*
* Session extend the Katabatic update session to the Kite
* router level. Mainly by managing Track update.
*
* For details on how Katabatic Sessions works, have a look to
* \ref katabaticSession.
*
*
* \section secSessionMechanism The Session Mechanism.
*
* Delayed modification procedure :
* <ol>
* <li>Modifications events are recorded into the Session.
* At this step, no modification are actually done, the
* data-base retains it's previous state and coherency.
* <li>The Revalidate() procedure is called (or the Session
* is closed), then all the modification events are applied.
* the data-base is in it's new state.
* </ol>
*
*
* \section secKiteSessionRevalidate The Revalidate Algorithm.
*
* Revalidation steps :
* <ol>
* <li>process all remove events. detach TrackSegment from
* their Track, but do not remove the pointer from the
* internal \vector.
* <li>Pack all Track in which removal have took place.
* <li>process all insert events. This is the time TrackSegment
* are moved into their new Track (physical displacement).
* <li>Call the Katabatic::Session::revalidate() method.
* <li>Recompute the canonical position of source and target
* of all invalidateds TrackSegment (take account of
* extention modifications).
* <li>Perform a sort() on all Track that have been modifieds.
* </ol>
