Dear all, I need to examine the parameters of physical interfaces on a node. However, when i use NETLINK_ROUTE socket to receive the interface information from the kernel, I cannot distinguish a virtual interface from a physical one. I try to use if_nameindex function to get the physical interface name and indexes and then use RTM_GETLINK to examine the interface parameters. Can you tell me there are another way to do it ?
