routing: add method handleNetworkUpdate to process the network update

This commit refactors the `networkHandler` to use the new method
`handleNetworkUpdate`. Because the `select` is called inside a for loop,
which is equivalent of firing goroutine inside range loop, it's possible
that a variable used inside a previous goroutine is referencing the
current one. This is now fixed by making the goroutine taking the params
used for network update.
