Description

Hi there,

please see: https://github.com/svinota/pyroute2/issues/1335

My project uses uvloop, however I've had to move back to asyncio as I have a dependency on pyroute2, and it doesn't work with uvloop.

This seems to be because uvloop doesn't support datagram endpoints over netlink sockets, whereas asyncio does.

Is this something that could be implemented?

Thanks,

David.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked pyroute2 issue and reviewing how uvloop relates to asyncio datagram endpoints and netlink sockets. Done means uvloop supports the requested datagram endpoints over netlink sockets and the behavior is verified against the reported pyroute2 use case.
