Function in LuCI project

Question

Here is a code block in LuCI (OpenWrt web UI) project.

I don't understand what this function is doing, and I am unable to find where it is called. Where is this function being called and what it is doing?

p = s:option(ListValue, "proto", translate("Protocol"))
p.override_values = true

p:value("pppoe", "PPPoE") 
p:value("pptp",  "PPTP")  

function p.write(self, section, value)
    if value == "pptp" or value == "pppoe" then
        self.map:set(section, "peerdns", "1")
        self.map:set(section, "defaultroute", "1")
    end
    return ListValue.write(self, section, value)
end

I'm not sure where it is being called, but I assume from a network configuration LuCI web page.

It writes to the UCI Network configuration file (logically, a commit is needed for physical write).

The function p.write(self, section, value) is overriding the abstract parent method. LuCI is an MVC, so Listvalue calls the write function when the page appling automatic.
