Hmm.. havend followed the changes, so it might be, that the messages transported over netlink havent changed since 2.2. A quick glance tells me some additions have been made (Decnet, session, v6, ..) But anyway, you are quite right, netlink is the most stable and most documented interface to routing/networking infos you can have on linux. And interesting to me, I just learned, that there is even a lib to access it. Not sure yet, if it is actually good to use, I will find out :) Greetings Bernd - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
