It seems the vrouter module doens't broadcast any netlink messages, and then, it is not possible to implement a tool such as `ip mon` for the vrouter module. Another way would be to use the nlmon module and launch a capture to get netlink messages... but I've the feeling this is not really clean in a prod env! Do you confirm these statements? So, to be able to get netlink notifications from the vrouter, the vrouter module should send some netlink broadcast messages when interesting events occur. Maybe, it would be easiest to emit notifications (netlink or not) from the vrouter agent side (but I would prefer to emit notifications as close as possible to the dataplane). But I didn't explore this way. What do you think about this? Are there other ways to get notifications?
