Most of the userland program gets the informations about the interfaces via the Kernel sysctl_iflist() function. When a new interface is added, it is announced by the routing socket with a RTM_IFANNOUNCE message. However the structure if_announcemsghdr does not provide information about the interface's sockaddr_dl. Nevertheless, sysctl_iflist() can be used, but it is not efficient.
What should the right fix be ? I was wondering if "ifpaddr = TAILQ_FIRST(&ifp->if_addrhead)->ifa_addr" could be added within rt_ifannouncemsg() and rt_ifmsg() just before rt_msg1() ?
