You don't need to reboot to change the IP address and routing.

Use the SOICSIFADDR, SIOCSIFNETMASK, SIOCSIFBRADDR ioctls on a PF_INET socket
with the appropriate ifr_name (probably "eth0") to change the IP address.

Use SIOCDELRT and SOICADDRT to delete and add routes.

No reboot required!

Regards,
Graham
