1This is a set of utilities for Linux networking. 2 3Information: 4 https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/iproute2 5 6Download: 7 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/net/iproute2/ 8 9Stable version repository: 10 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git 11 12Development repository: 13 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2-next.git 14 15Compatibility 16------------- 17A new release of iproute2 is done with each kernel version, but 18there is a wide range of compatibility. Newer versions of iproute2 19will still work with older kernels, but there are some limitations. 20 21If an iproute2 command with a new feature is used with an older 22kernel, the kernel may report an error or silently ignore the new 23attribute. Likewise if older iproute2 is used with an newer kernel, 24it is not possible to use or see new features. The range of 25compatibility extends back as far as the oldest supported Long Term 26Support (LTS) kernel version. 27 28How to compile this. 29-------------------- 301. libdbm 31 32arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian 33users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev. 34DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which 35is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley 36database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package. 37 382. make 39 40The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which 41contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available 42on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX. 43 443. include/uapi 45 46This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because 47the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile 48if you have special requirements and need to point at different 49kernel include files. 50 51Stephen Hemminger 52stephen@networkplumber.org 53 54David Ahern 55dsahern@kernel.org 56
