[PATCH v3] wireguard: add netlink mcast on endpoint change

Linus Karl linus at lotz.li
Sun Apr 10 19:06:35 UTC 2022


This commit adds a new multicast group "peers" to the netlink api for
wireguard. The purpose of this multicast group is to notify userspace
when the peers of an interface change. This is also triggered when
root changes the endpoint manually.

This feature is enabled through setting a new WGDEVICE_A_MONITOR
attribute to WGDEVICE_MONITOR_F_ENDPOINT.

An example for an consumer of this API would be a service that keeps
track of all peer endpoints and sends this information to the peers.
This would allow NAT-to-NAT connections without the need of using
STUN on each client.
