For a godd'all bofh like me (with lot of scripts and setup), those are really
reasons sufficient to call iproute2 a "Young and Nerd project from dump
autodidacts who try to re-invent the wheel by making it square, because it'
much more fun".
Just joking (and not sure of the translation of the joke, don't flame). I'm
aware about the implementation of QoS in iproute2, and the fact that it
simplify aliases (or whatever you call it) management, but it comes with a lot
of assertions (like mixing doted and hexa notations that remind me AIX), that
are really annoying.
Well, this is probably a troll, or not that far, but I would like to be able to
script iproute2 efficiently before using it.
