The most useful places I can think of are:

- kernel: include/linux/rtnetlink.h, include/linux/pkt_sched.h
- kernel: net/core/sched_api.c, net/core/rtnetlink.c
- iproute2 source, look especially at rtnl_wilddump_request,
   rtnl_dump_filter and rtnl_talk
- netlink man pages
- Jamal Hadi's netlink over IP RFC draft

Best regards,
Patrick
