Using netlink rather than route on a modern FreeBSD kernel may allow you do do the same thing but install a kernel filter on the socket just to receive interface changes.That should match your requirements.Roy Marples ---- On Sat,28 Oct 2023 15:29:01 +0100  eugen@freebsd.org  wrote ----28.10.2023 23:21, Roy Marples wrote:

I'd like to be able to make a couple of system calls only to get a list of pre-created vlans for a moment.
Efficiently and scalable. Not making thousands of reads (syscalls) from routing sockets
and not syncing with the kernel.
