Guys, I've been thinking about this past few days and thought I'd ask here. Is it possible to create bridge device using rtnetlink interface ? I've tried to go through iproute package source but got a bit overwhelmed and confused. Could someone give me a hint how to go about it ? I had a look at bridge utils source but that one literally uses direct syscalls. What I'm after is rtnetlink thingy which would correspond to: ip link add name mybridge type bridge Any advice/hints would be very appreciated! thanks
