What kind of approach would an API take, another socket type, like AF_ROUTE ? What about a new signal, if the default was to ignore, it wouldn't break signal semantics, although I agree that having a new signal may be too aggressive. I could benefit from such API, in mdns, if you know that you're about to lose connectivity you should issue a cache flush on your records, therefore it would be nice to receive an event such "about to suspend". I got my hands full right now but it seems like a nice thing to code in future.
