Havn't looked at that part of the source code, but if you use a netlink
socket to add/delete routes, you will get messages for every route
change. If a interface goes down, netlink messages for the routes which
the kernel deletes are sent and olsr can react as needed.
I think netlink is also faster then ioctl calls, and will perfrom better
due the async nature of this interface.

kindly regards
