On recent Linux kernels (2.0.x and 2.2.x), there is a kernel/user
- communication support called `netlink`. It makes asynchronous communication
+ communication support called `Netlink`. It makes asynchronous communication
between kernel and FRR possible, similar to a routing socket on BSD systems.
Before you use this feature, be sure to select (in kernel configuration) the
- kernel/netlink support option 'Kernel/User network link driver' and 'Routing
+ kernel/Netlink support option 'Kernel/User network link driver' and 'Routing
messages'.
Today, the :file:`/dev/route` special device file is obsolete. Netlink
- communication is done by reading/writing over netlink socket.

After the kernel configuration, please reconfigure and rebuild FRR. You can
- use netlink as a dynamic routing update channel between FRR and the kernel.
