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.") + (license gpl2+))) |
