Maybe there is an alternate interface. This is what I'm wondering about: alternative interfaces, that are still kosher in the netlink/rtnl world. Each interface is associated with a certain set of "peers". I want to get a list of all these peers. Sometimes there are lots of them. It's structured data that fits well into netlink messages, but it's just that there are potentially a lot of entries. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
