The earlier implementation was in user space. The current implementation is in kernel as a kernel extension (CAA). CAA supports the following format of netmon.cf file
!REQ owner target
where owner can be !ALL or an IP address or an interface name.
target can be an IP address or hostname
If an interface name (such a en0) is provided as owner then CAA will use all the IP addresses configured on that interface as the source IP.
If an IP address is given then CAA will figure out on which interface the IP address is configured and then use all the IP addresses configured on that interface as the source address. This was done mainly to ensure the interface is truly down in other words to get a better indication.
