Actually, the original plan was to use ifli_family to query something or to direct a request to a specific interface on some netdevice. I wanted to reserve IFLI_PROTINFO attribute to encapsulate information private for specific family. It was not realized mostly because of absense of such information. Maybe, you will want to resurrect this.
