Previously we used ioctl() to set the IP address and netmask of the bridges used for virtual networks, and apparently the SIOCSIFNETMASK ioctl implicitly set the broadcast address for the interface. The new method of using the "ip" command requires broadcast address to be explicitly specified though.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
