This may be better suited to iproute2.  To read the documentation, look
for a file named ip-cref.ps in your distribution.  There is a brief
slide show on using it in the training section at
http://iscs.sourceforge.net but it is directed towards using it with
FreeS/WAN.  I do not know what APIs are available. - John
