Greetings
I'm currently helping R&D engineering investigate future directions for low-level networking APIs on iOS and OS X <rdar://problem/12700128>. Part of that investigation relates to routing sockets (and similar things, like using sysctl to get networking information). All of these techniques require the <sys/route.h> header, which is part of the OS X SDK but not part of the iOS SDK. I know that a number of developers have copied the OS X header, or declarations from that header, to their iOS project and I'd like to find out more about why they are doing this.
So, if you're using <sys/route.h> declarations on iOS for an App Store app, please get in touch with me (at my work email address, which you'll get to by replying to this email).
For example, here are two common reasons for doing this:
o getting at the ARP table
o getting routing information, like the gateway address for a particular interface or the default gateway for the machine as a whole
Share and Enjoy
