[LARTC] rtnetlink documentation

[LARTC] rtnetlink documentation

[michal]

Hello,
I would like to ask, if somewhere exists documentation about rtnetlink 
interface? Something more than kernel documentation and manual pages 
(man rtnetlink and man netlink).

I want create traffic classes, filters and so on (only cbq classes and 
some filters based on fwmark), like tc utility from 
Alexey does, but can't find any relevant docs on net.

Hi,
There isn't much...There is draft at IETF
(www.ietf.org) on rtnetlink sockets, using it as
standard way of communicating between routing
protocols (IGP) and routing table, again it also
documents only what is avaiable in the man pages(which
doesn't document everything) ...AFAIK, kernel sources
is the only way.

Also try "man 7 netlink" and "man 7 rtnetlink"
