Kevin,

I didn't find all of the info you related at netlink(7).  Thanks, this is clear and very helpful.

> Look under just RTNETLINK, it allows the kernel's routing tables to be

> link parameters, neighbour setups, queueing disciplines, traffic classes
> and packet classifiers may all be controlled through NETLINK_ROUTE
> sockets. It is based on netlink messages, see netlink(7) for more
> information.  Verbatim from the manpage.
