When configuring a system with multiple network uplinks and default routes, it
is often convenient to reference a routing table multiple times - but reject
its routing decision if certain constraints are not met by it.
Consider this setup:
$ ip route add table secuplink default via 10.42.23.1
$ ip rule add pref 100 table main suppress_prefixlength 0
$ ip rule add pref 150 fwmark 0xA table secuplink
With this setup, packets marked 0xA will be processed by the additional routing
table "secuplink", but only if no suitable route in the main routing table can
be found. By suppressing entries with a prefixlength of 0 (or less), the
default route (/0) of the table "main" is hidden to packets processed by rule
100; packets traveling to destinations via more specific routes are processed
as usual.
It is also possible to suppress a routing entry if a device belonging to
a specific interface group is to be used:
$ ip rule add pref 150 table main suppress_group 1

This patch allows setting VXLAN destination to unicast address.
It allows that VXLAN can be used as peer-to-peer tunnel without
multicast.
v6: change back to the v3 except for using new attribute because
replacing command-line parameters breaks existing scripts,
based by Cong Wang's comments.
v5: rebase on the latest.
v4: replace "group" with "remote" based by David Stevens's comments.
v3: move a new attribute REMOTE into the last of an enum list
based by Stephen Hemminger's comments.
fix the usage to show explicitly that both "remote" and "group"
cannot be specified, based by Ben Hutchings's comments.
v2: use a new argument "remote" instead of "group" based by
Stephen Hemminger's comments.

These do nothing on an 80-column display. They were clearly somebody's
boilerplate way of setting up hanging indents, but the syntax lines
are way too short to require them. And since most were argumentless
they would have been no-ops on any sized display.
The ip link command line help and the ip-link.8.in
man page are outdated in regards to the vxlan support.
The patch updates both the command line help for the
ip command and its man page.

The command synopsis is regularized and part of it split off into an
OPTIONS section. This allows the page to lift to XML-DocBook.
An invalid \p escape was removed.
This page was written by someone who didn't understand the use of
definite and indefinite articles in English, nor its punctuation rules.
I've fixed these mistakes, and some glitches in punctuation and
capitalization.
Enclosed patch fixes inappropriate uses of the .SS macro. Fuller explanation
in the change comment.
There are other problems in these pages that block lifting to
XML-DocBook, most notably in the command synopses. They will take
some creativity to fix. I'm working on it

Subject: [PATCH] Abolish presentation-level misuse of the .SS macro.
This change fixes most (but not all) fatal errors in attempts to lift
the iproute2 manual pages to XML-DocBook. Where .SS is still used it
is a real subsection header, not just a way to outdent and bold text.
Presentation-level instances are turned into .TP calls and tables.
This patch adds quickack option to enable/disable TCP quick ack
mode for per-route.

This patch adds support for tokenized IIDs, that enable
administrators to assign well-known host-part addresses
to nodes whilst still obtaining global network prefix
from Router Advertisements. This is the iproute2 part for
the kernel patch f53adae4eae5 (``net: ipv6: add tokenized
interface identifier support'').
Example commands with iproute2:
Setting a device token:
# ip token set ::1a:2b:3c:4d/64 dev eth1
Getting a device token:
# ip token get dev eth1
token ::1a:2b:3c:4d dev eth1
Listing all tokens:
# ip token list (or: ip token)
token :: dev eth0
token ::1a:2b:3c:4d dev eth1

The tc command is missing documentation of -batch and -force switches
that are returned by "tc -help".
Add short description on their syntax and usage.
Change ALGO-KEY to ALGO-KEYMAT to make it more obvious that the
keying material might need to contain more than just the key (such
as a salt or nonce value).
List the algorithm names that currently exist in the kernel.
Indicate that for IPComp, the Compression Parameter Index (CPI) is
used as the SPI.
Group the list of mode values by transform protocol.

In older versions of traffic shaping the Alpha kernel was special
and had higher HZ. This no longer matters, TC is based on high
resoulution timers in kernel.

Rephrasing for clarity.
Note that in ip-rule.8 I rephrased a sentence to "The RPDB is scanned
in order of decreasing priority." The original version talked about
*in*creasing priority, but from the context that didn't make sense.

The 'inherit/STRING' or 'inherit/00..ff' syntax indicates that the
TOS field of tunneled packets should be copied from the original IP
header, but for non-IP packets the value STRING or 00..ff should be
used instead. (This syntax is already used by 'ip tunnel show'.)
Also clarify the man page and the command usage text (particularly
that the TOS is not specified as a decimal number).
