Are you refering to this?
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/effa4c07ba850bedbe1ff54b2a5df281c058ebcb/mcs/class/System/System.Net.NetworkInformation/IPInterfaceProperties.cs#L77

AFAICR, the information should be available from a sysctl (what
netstat(8) does) or from a PF_ROUTE socket (what route(8) does), but it
may be easier to parse the output of netstat(8) instead of
reimplementing parts of netstat(8) or route(8) in managed code…

If you have a patch, feel free to share it here so that I can include it
;-)
