    [NEIGH]: Netlink notifications · d961db35

    Currently neighbour event notifications are limited to update
    notifications and only sent if the ARP daemon is enabled. This
    patch extends the existing notification code by also reporting
    neighbours being removed due to gc or administratively and
    removes the dependency on the ARP daemon. This allows to keep
    track of neighbour states without periodically fetching the
    complete neighbour table.
