     1.4 +Iproute2 is a collection of utilities for controlling TCP/IP networking
     1.5 +and traffic control in Linux.
     1.6 +
     1.7 +Most network configuration manuals still refer to ifconfig and route as
     1.8 +the primary network configuration tools, but ifconfig is known to behave
     1.9 +inadequately in modern network environments.
    1.10 +They should be deprecated, but most distros still include them.
    1.11 +Most network configuration systems make use of ifconfig and thus provide
    1.12 +a limited feature set.
    1.13 +The /etc/net project aims to support most modern network technologies,
    1.14 +as it doesn't use ifconfig and allows a system administrator to make use
    1.15 +of all iproute2 features, including traffic control.
