Network status with mvvmcross?

Question

I am using mvvmcross to develop an application that is designed for the WPF, IOS, and Android platforms.

How can I get network and global network status information? Example: IP address, network interface (Ethernet, Wifi, 3G, ...)

thanks

There is a network plugin for mvvmcross v3 that provides information on network connection - https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/tree/v3/Plugins/Cirrious/Network

However, this is only implemented for iOS / Touch at the moment - it exists only to meet Apple Reachability requirements.

To ensure this on multiple platforms, you will need to add and implement your own interfaces - either by expanding this plugin, creating a new plugin, or simply using IoC injection from user interface projects.

I do not know anyone who has already done this, but I would like this to be returned to open source.
