| - | Iproute2 is a collection of utilities for controlling [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP|TCP]] / [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP|IP]] networking and traffic control in Linux. It is currently maintained by Stephen Hemminger [[mailto:stephen@networkplumber.org|<stephen@networkplumber.org>]]. The original author, Alexey Kuznetsov, is well known for the QoS implementation in the Linux kernel. | + | Iproute2 is a collection of utilities for controlling [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission Control Protocol|TCP]] / [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet Protocol|IP]] networking and traffic control in Linux.

| Most network configuration manuals still refer to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ifconfig|ifconfig]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/route (command)|route]] as the primary network configuration tools, but ifconfig is known to behave inadequately in modern network environments. They should be deprecated, but most [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distributions|distros]] still include them. Most network configuration systems make use of ifconfig and thus provide a limited feature set. The [[:networking:etcnet|/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. | Most network configuration manuals still refer to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ifconfig|ifconfig]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/route (command)|route]] as the primary network configuration tools, but ifconfig is known to behave inadequately in modern network environments.
