Since everything in Linux is a file, you can create a virtual NIC

How!? Bcoz network interface is not connected to any device file.
AFAICT[1], RTNETLINK is refers to the netfilter API to manipulate
the kernel routing tables not any user space tool to assign IP
addresses to NICs
It is not like direct assignment of IP. Some other trick and is
related to multicast. Let me try to recollect that.
Bye :)
