IPRoute2 The arpd program included in this package will not be built since it is dependent on Berkeley DB, which is not installed in LFS. However, a directory for arpd and a man page will still be installed. Prevent this by running the commands below. If the arpd binary is needed, instructions for compiling Berkeley DB can be found in the BLFS Book at . sed -i /ARPD/d Makefile rm -fv man/man8/arpd.8 It is also necessary to disable building two modules that require . sed -i 's/.m_ipt.o//' tc/Makefile Compile the package: make This package does not have a working test suite. Install the package: make DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/iproute2-&iproute2-version; install Installed programs Installed directories bridge, ctstat (link to lnstat), genl, ifcfg, ifstat, ip, lnstat, nstat, routef, routel, rtacct, rtmon, rtpr, rtstat (link to lnstat), ss, and tc /etc/iproute2, /usr/lib/tc, and /usr/share/doc/iproute2-&iproute2-version;, Short Descriptions bridge Configures network bridges bridge ctstat Connection status utility ctstat genl Generic netlink utility frontend genl ifcfg A shell script wrapper for the ip command [Note that it requires the arping and rdisk programs from the iputils package found at .] ifcfg ifstat Shows the interface statistics, including the amount of transmitted and received packets by interface ifstat ip The main executable. It has several different functions: ip link <device> allows users to look at the state of devices and to make changes ip addr allows users to look at addresses and their properties, add new addresses, and delete old ones ip neighbor allows users to look at neighbor bindings and their properties, add new neighbor entries, and delete old ones ip rule allows users to look at the routing policies and change them ip route allows users to look at the routing table and change routing table rules ip tunnel allows users to look at the IP tunnels and their properties, and change them ip maddr allows users to look at the multicast addresses and their properties, and change them ip mroute allows users to set, change, or delete the multicast routing ip monitor allows users to continuously monitor the state of devices, addresses and routes ip lnstat Provides Linux network statistics; it is a generalized and more feature-complete replacement for the old rtstat program lnstat nstat Shows network statistics nstat routef A component of ip route. This is for flushing the routing tables routef routel A component of ip route. This is for listing the routing tables routel rtacct Displays the contents of /proc/net/rt_acct rtacct rtmon Route monitoring utility rtmon rtpr Converts the output of ip -o back into a readable form rtpr rtstat Route status utility rtstat ss Similar to the netstat command; shows active connections ss tc Traffic Controlling Executable; this is for Quality Of Service (QOS) and Class Of Service (COS) implementations tc qdisc allows users to setup the queueing discipline tc class allows users to setup classes based on the queuing discipline scheduling tc estimator allows users to estimate the network flow into a network tc filter allows users to setup the QOS/COS packet filtering tc policy allows users to setup the QOS/COS policies tc
