AFAIK, proc/net is the only source for most of the information under proc/net, it can't be legacy if there is no alternative :) These days it is actually proc/<pid>/net/XXX due the namespace stuff, so it kinda is process related. People are adding new things, ie proc/net/sctp/remaddr was added last year. /proc/net/rdma/ really does seem to be the right answer today :| debugfs is no good because tools like lsof/netstat need to access this information and distros don't mount it by default. BTW, Moni, while you are looking at this it would be really nice to have a proc/<pid>/qp directory or file so that lists of QPs associated with processes can be produced by lsof.
