I'm trying to use NETLINK sockets on Linux 2.4.2 to get the changes in routing table, interfaces, ARP table etc. from user space. It looks like only NETLINK_ROUTE family is supported. I would like to know the following : 1. NETLINK_ARPD family doesn't seem to be implemented. Does any version of Linux support NETLINK_ARPD family ? 2. Has NETLINK_ROUTE family been tested completely ? 3. There is no provision to get netmask changes in NETLINK_ROUTE family. Is there a plan to add this support ? 4. What is the best method in Linux to get the changes in routing table, ARP table, interfaces etc. from the user space (Like routing sockets in BSD) ? I thought of using Netlink which doesn't seem to be complete. How about Divert socket ? Is there any other method ? 5. Is there any plan to remove NETLINK support completely since it is not completed ? Thanks in advance Sany __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
