An intercept library of a network device may detect a socket system call from an application associated with a user space of the network device. The intercept library may be associated with the user space, and the socket system call may be addressed to a kernel associated with the network device. The intercept library may generate an intercept socket based on the socket system call, and may detect a subscription for asynchronous network state information, wherein the subscription may be generated by the application. The intercept library may provide the subscription to a service daemon via the intercept socket.
