1 Iproute2 is a collection of utilities for controlling TCP/IP networking
2 and traffic control in Linux.
4 Most network configuration manuals still refer to ifconfig and route as
5 the primary network configuration tools, but ifconfig is known to behave
6 inadequately in modern network environments.
7 They should be deprecated, but most distros still include them.
8 Most network configuration systems make use of ifconfig and thus provide
9 a limited feature set.
10 The /etc/net project aims to support most modern network technologies,
11 as it doesn't use ifconfig and allows a system administrator to make use
12 of all iproute2 features, including traffic control.
