Though I never had time to use this, starting by kernel 2.2.X (don't
know exactly which X) you can get this using netlink socket (AF_NETLINK)
You should find a description/tutorial at:
- http://qos.ittc.ukans.edu/netlink/html/index.html
- Unix Network Programming, W. Richard Stevens, 2nd edition, 1st Volume
ed. Prentice Hall (Well Stevens talked about AF_ROUTE socket that are
(IIRC) a `special case' (which are supported on BSD kernel too) of the
more generic netlink socket mechanism (that is Linux specific).

Hope this helps ;)
BTW would you be so gentle to send me examples about netlink socket if
you're going to use them, please? :)
