iproute2

  • glaucus removes ARPD and BDB
  • Set make NETNS_RUN_DIR=/run/netns; otherwise it defaults to /var/run/netns
  • There is no test suite
  • Do not install libnetlink.a or libnetlink.h; nothing depends on them
  • ip replaces other programs like ifconfig and route
  • bridge provides a superset of the functionality implemented by the brctl program from bridge-utils
  • ss aka “Socket Statistics” can replace netstat from net-tools as it provides more TCP and state information
