Is there a windows or cygwin C/C++ API to collect information provided by the route command on Windows? I'm specifically interested in the route metrics. Here's an example of what route outputs, the IPs have been changed to protect the innocent.
$ route PRINT -4

The reason for using "api" in the route is to avoid collisions with ASP.NET MVC routing. That way, you can have "/contacts" go to an MVC controller, and "/api/contacts" go to a Web API controller.
Convention-based Routing. In the convention-based routing, Web API uses route templates to determine which controller and action method to execute. At least one route template must be added into route table in order to handle various HTTP requests.
by Mike Wasson. This article describes how ASP.NET Web API routes HTTP requests to controllers. Note. If you are familiar with ASP.NET MVC, Web API routing is very similar to MVC routing. The main difference is that Web API uses the HTTP verb, not the URI path, to select the action.
When the Web API framework receives a request, it routes the request to an action. To determine which action to invoke, the framework uses a routing table. The Visual Studio project template for Web API creates a default route:
You should use GetIpForwardTable as the Routing Table Manager API only works for Server editions of Windows.

You want the Routing Table Manager API.
