Greetings, is there any sensible way to have a user-space application notified of interface address changes (in the light of - but not limited to - IPv6 automatic configuration, with accept_rtadv or similar), preferably without the application polling getifaddrs every five-ish seconds? It does not appear kevent/kqueue, or devctl, are up to the task. I am not asking for turnkey solutions (although I'll gladly take them), a rough sketch or pointers will suffice. Thanks. Best regards Matthias
