System network daemon — monitors network reachability and manages connectivity state

Tracks network interface status, reachability to remote hosts, and connectivity changes across the system. Communicates directly with network drivers and hardware to monitor link state and route availability. Exposes reachability information to other system processes through an XPC service, allowing applications to query whether specific hosts or networks are reachable. Notifies registered clients of network state transitions such as interface changes, DNS availability, or routing updates. Runs as a privileged system daemon with direct hardware communication capabilities.AI
