In this specific patch, the API is intended to configure namespace-wide parameters such as a map of hmackeyid -> hashfn,secret, without connection to particular routes. I agree that the tunsrc parameter could be provided through rtnetlink, but the hmac data cannot (which by the way does not exist for SR-MPLS). The "control plane software" that currently uses that is simply a patched version of iproute2 with SR support (which I will submit when this patch series is hopefully merged). (e.g. ip sr set hmac blahblah) More advanced control plane softwares are currently under development and will be presented in upcoming academic publications.
