Get a protocol analyzer and let it do it for you. Seriously. If the tests
are still asking you to decode RIFs by hand, this is really silly. You will
have very little need for this skill in the real world, if you ask me.
If the tests do expect you to decode a RIF by hand, (I can't remember if
they do or not), then just remember what the major fields are and how big
they are.
Routing control field is two bytes.
Each route descriptor is two bytes, consisting of 12 bits for ring number
and 4 bits for bridge number.
