Apart from watching networkd's event it network-event-broker does the following
1. dhclient gains lease and execute scripts upon
- An address getting added/removed/modified.
- links added/removed.
2. Allows to execute scripts when routes gets modified)
That means it's it listens to kernel netlink events when routes are added and
removed that
allows to execute scripts. That means it's use space client agnostic .
3. Exports network data in JSON format
