The ip neighbour supports adding of peers statically using commands
where the lladdr is an IP address.
ip neighbor add 10.0.0.2 lladdr 203.0.113.6 dev tun8
This is used in the case of point-to-multipoint GRE to setup the
remote end point of the tunnel
Note that link-layer address and neighbor address are both IP addresses

Not a regular Handle with a couple of
sockets creation/delete.

- Ties to a netlink socket. All client requests
will re-use same socket. Socket released at
handle deletion.
- Also network namespace can be specified during
handle creation. Socket will be opened on the
specified network namespace.

This turns out to be especially important as there
appears to be a bug in the kernel with bonding.
The bug causes an infinite amount of fdb entries
to be returned (it just cycle through the interfaces)
if no interface filter is set.
Having object composition causes both client and library to
do potentially unecessary work to retrieve Link attributes
when only index is often sufficient.
