20 /* Netlink protocol definitions.
21 *
22 * Netlink is a message framing format described in RFC 3549 and used heavily
23 * in Linux to access the network stack. Open vSwitch uses AF_NETLINK sockets
24 * for this purpose on Linux. But on all platforms, Open vSwitch uses Netlink
25 * message framing internally for certain purposes.
26 *
27 * This header provides access to the Netlink message framing definitions
28 * regardless of platform. On Linux, it includes the proper headers directly;
29 * on other platforms it directly defines the structures and macros itself.
