Hans-G?nter@24671 2 and traffic control in Linux.
Hans-G?nter@24671 3
Hans-G?nter@24671 4 Most network configuration manuals still refer to ifconfig and route as
Hans-G?nter@24671 5 the primary network configuration tools, but ifconfig is known to behave
Hans-G?nter@24671 6 inadequately in modern network environments.
Hans-G?nter@24671 7 They should be deprecated, but most distros still include them.
Hans-G?nter@24671 8 Most network configuration systems make use of ifconfig and thus provide
Hans-G?nter@24671 9 a limited feature set.
Hans-G?nter@24671 10 The /etc/net project aims to support most modern network technologies,
Hans-G?nter@24671 11 as it doesn't use ifconfig and allows a system administrator to make use
Hans-G?nter@24671 12 of all iproute2 features, including traffic control.
