The difference between sd_rtnl_message_new_addr() and sd_rtnl_message_new_addr_update() is only whether NLM_F_REPLACE flag will be set or not. If an address is already assigned, then we need to set NLM_F_REPLACE flag, otherwise, address_configure() will be fail. This makes address_configure() judge whether we should use the flag or not.
