There is no direct event interface, because, when Berkeley sockets were 
designed, interface addresses were fixed at system startup.  TCP was 
designed for peer operation, which requires stable addresses, and DNS 
was designed for very slow changes.

What you are being told is that, on some operating systems, there is an 
event interface for routing, which is dynamic, which provides enough 
information to infer an interface address change.
