My personal opinion is that netlink sockets are a pain in the ass to deal
with, and there is no way I want to try to programatically parse the tc
input or output.

libnl will make your life a lot easier, the tc support is not yet
finished but I'll be releasing a version this week which at least
fully support all the basics (link, neigh, address, routes, rules).
It's only a matter of time until one can use the tc interface with
only a few library calls.

Sometime I will revisit netlink.  There are some things I want to do
like allowing more than 8 bits of routing tables, and perhaps watching
for network link up/down events and the like.  Please don't bust ass to support
tc on my account as it's quite unlikely I'll use it any time soon.

Thanks,
Ben
