+======================================================
+Netlink specification support for raw Netlink families
+======================================================
+
+This document describes the additional properties required by raw Netlink
+families such as ``NETLINK_ROUTE`` which use the ``netlink-raw`` protocol
+specification.
+
+Specification
+=============
+
+The netlink-raw schema extends the :doc:`genetlink-legacy <genetlink-legacy>`
+schema with properties that are needed to specify the protocol numbers and
+multicast IDs used by raw netlink families. See :ref:`classic_netlink` for more
+information.
+
+Globals
+-------
+
+protonum
+~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``protonum`` property is used to specify the protocol number to use when
+opening a netlink socket.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  # SPDX-License-Identifier: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)
+
+  name: rt-addr
+  protocol: netlink-raw
+  protonum: 0             # part of the NETLINK_ROUTE protocol
+
+
+Multicast group properties
+--------------------------
+
+value
+~~~~~
+
+The ``value`` property is used to specify the group ID to use for multicast
+group registration.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  mcast-groups:
+    list:
+      -
+        name: rtnlgrp-ipv4-ifaddr
+        value: 5
+      -
+        name: rtnlgrp-ipv6-ifaddr

+      -
