Description :
Iproute2 is a collection of utilities for controlling TCP / IP networking
and traffic control in Linux. It is currently maintained by Stephen Hemminger
< shemmingerAATTosdl.org>. The original author, Alexey Kuznetsov, is well known
for the QoS implementation in the Linux kernel.
Most network configuration manuals still refer to ifconfig and route as the
primary network configuration tools, but ifconfig is known to behave inadequately
in modern network environments. They should be deprecated, but most distros still
include them. Most network configuration systems make use of ifconfig and thus
provide a limited feature set. The /etc/net project aims to support most modern
network technologies, as it doesn\'t use ifconfig and allows a system administrator
to make use of all iproute2 features, including traffic control.
iproute2 is usually shipped in a package called iproute or iproute2 and consists of
several tools, of which the most important are ip and tc. ip controls IPv4 and IPv6
configuration and tc stands for traffic control. Both tools print detailed usage
messages and are accompanied by a set of manpages.
