I simply don't grok those pages. I also note caveats about incompleteness, and
recommendation to use libnetlink, which is also not documented much.
I sometimes hack on zcip (see ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/network/zcip
for an out of date version), and it could really use some netlink-ification.
But I can't even follow enough of iproute (or zebra, which also uses netlink,
AFAICT) to figure out how to do basic stuff like a list of configured
networking devices, or set the default route.
