Enhanced the 'ip monitor' command to track changes in IPv4 and IPv6
multicast addresses. This update allows the command to listen for
events related to multicast address additions and deletions by
registering to the newly introduced RTNLGRP_IPV4_MCADDR and
RTNLGRP_IPV6_MCADDR netlink groups.
This patch depends on the kernel patch that adds RTNLGRP_IPV4_MCADDR
and RTNLGRP_IPV6_MCADDR being merged first.
Here is an example usage:
root@uml-x86-64:/# ip monitor maddress
9: nettest123 inet6 mcast ff01::1 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
9: nettest123 inet6 mcast ff02::1 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
9: nettest123 inet mcast 224.0.0.1 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
9: nettest123 inet6 mcast ff02::1:ff00:7b01 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Deleted 9: nettest123 inet mcast 224.0.0.1 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Deleted 9: nettest123 inet6 mcast ff02::1:ff00:7b01 scope global
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Deleted 9: nettest123 inet6 mcast ff02::1 scope global

Compatibility
-------------
A new release of iproute2 is done with each kernel version, but
there is a wide range of compatibility. Newer versions of iproute2
will still work with older kernels, but there are some limitations.
If an iproute2 command with a new feature is used with an older
kernel, the kernel may report an error or silently ignore the new
attribute. Likewise if older iproute2 is used with an newer kernel,
it is not possible to use or see new features. The range of
compatibility extends back as far as the oldest supported Long Term
Support (LTS) kernel version.
How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
3. include/uapi
This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
