Subject:   What interface to use for configurable routing priorities?

We have got a project to design configureable priorities into routing code
for BSD kernel.  For configuration, we need an interface to kernel.  What
would be the recommended way to do this?

procfs seems to be a good idea, other solutions are extending the current
route interface or doing another but similar interface for this?

We need various information passed to and from kernel,
- priority of a network (source & destination),
- priority of a protocol,
- tuning the effect of various other parameters, like length of packets,
- bandwidth limits (for interfaces or routes),
- getting statistics.
